Instant Equitas FASTag Recharge Online

Electronic toll collection (ETC) has redefined the way we travel across highways in India. The National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) programme, introduced by the National Payments Corporation of India, has been pivotal in digitising toll payments via its revolutionary product - FASTag. And to support this initiative, Equitas provides vehicle owners with Equitas Small Finance FASTag. Here, we will understand how the FASTag works, how to get one, what the benefits are and how to recharge your Equitas FASTag.

How Does Equitas Small Finance FASTag Work?

Equitas FASTag is an innovative, RFID-enabled tag-like device. Once affixed to a vehicle's windshield, it enables automatic deduction of toll charges as the vehicle passes through toll plazas.
