As India accelerates towards digital transformation, electronic toll collection has become an integral part of this journey, reshaping the way we travel on highways. Spearheaded by the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) programme, a significant breakthrough in this domain has been the introduction of 'FASTag'.
Many banks now provide FASTag services; one such bank is Kotak Mahindra. The bank has a very simple and quick application and recharge process. Let us find out how Kotak Mahindra FASTag works, what the benefits of using it are, and what the activation and recharge process is.
FASTag employs radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to enable automatic toll payments. Once you stick this tag-like device to the vehicle's windshield, Kotak Mahindra FASTag is scanned by the toll plaza FASTag scanner. It automatically deducts the toll amount from your FASTag account or wallet.
Here are a few reasons why you should use a Kotak Mahindra FASTag:
Convenience of online recharge
Cashless transactions at toll plazas
Accepted over 773 Indian toll plazas
