The introduction of FASTag through the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) initiative has eradicated time-consuming queues at India's toll plazas. Now, driving through toll plazas in India is smoother and faster thanks to FASTag.
The SBI FASTag has emerged as a popular choice among various bank-issued FASTags, offering an electronic toll payment method for seamless passage through tolls. It ensures stress-free and efficient journeys. In this guide, we will have a close look at the SBI FASTag application, activation, and recharge process.
FASTag is a simple tag-like device that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. It is designed to ease your journey on Indian highways.
The RFID technology reads your SBI FASTag and identifies your vehicle at toll plazas. Then, it deducts the toll amount automatically from your FASTag account or wallet.
The advantages of using SBI FASTag are manifold:
Quick and convenient online recharge
Saves fuel and time
Makes you law-compliant
