The Bank of India (BOI) FASTag is a compact rechargeable tag that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to automate toll payments. The FASTag is affixed to your car’s windscreen. When you are near a toll plaza barrier, the tag is read by the scanner, and the toll charges are automatically deducted from your linked prepaid account.
To start with, the prime benefit of using Bank of India FASTag is the easiness of online recharges. You can recharge your FASTag on-the-go via net banking or debit/credit cards.
With FASTag, you don't need to stop at toll plazas, thus saving considerable time and fuel. Just drive through as the toll charges get automatically deducted from your preloaded FASTag account.
