A breakthrough initiative is the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) programme, revolutionising the toll payment process on national highways. An integral part of this transformation is AU Bank's FASTag - a technology-enabled solution designed to eliminate manual toll payments. So, let us understand how an AU Bank FASTag is your perfect companion for hassle-free road trips across India.
FASTag employs radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to enable automatic toll payments. Once affixed to the vehicle's windshield, the FASTag is scanned by the toll plaza FASTag scanner. It automatically deducts the toll amount from the linked prepaid account.

Also, the insufficient balance could lead to penalties or may require you to resort to cash payments, or the vehicle can also get blacklisted.
