What is FASTag?
Jump Tag Icon

FASTag is a digital way of collecting taxes at toll plazas nationwide. This initiative was introduced by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to ensure a unified electronic system of tax collection in the country. Ever since its introduction, it has become easier for drivers to seamlessly travel across the nation without worrying about how to pay taxes manually. There are over 500+ toll plazas, and the FASTag scheme is accepted for all of them. Moreover, this tag is applicable for five years and you just need to ensure that there is sufficient balance in the FASTag account, otherwise, you can simply recharge it.

How Does FASTag Work?
Jump Tag Icon

The FASTags are more or less like stickers fixed on the car's windscreen. It uses Radiofrequency Technology (RFID) with a reloadable tag linked to your FASTag rechargeable account. If this account has sufficient balance, it will automatically permit the collection of taxes at the toll plaza. The scanner identifies the FASTag at the toll plaza and instantly deducts the respective amount. 

How to Get FASTag?

Where to Fix the FASTag on your Car?

FASTag is specific to the vehicle and can never be transferred to another car. It is like a sticker fixed at the top centre of the vehicle’s windscreen. If by any chance, there is a lack of space to fix the FASTag behind the rear-view mirror, then the tag can be placed towards the left. You need to ensure that the tag is not fixed behind any metal that can obstruct scanning at the toll plaza.
