Toll Gate - How to Buy FASTag எப்படி வாங்குவது HOW to Apply FASTag

Описание: Starting December 1, all National Highways in India will collect toll payments through technology called #FASTag. The system based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was initially established as a pilot project back in 2014. However, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in March this year made it mandatory for toll lanes in the country to have electronic toll collection (ETC) infrastructure to start supporting FASTag-equipped vehicles. The government has also partnered with 23 banks to offer FASTag issuance.

What is FASTag, and how does it work?
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has developed the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) programme to fulfil the electronic tolling requirements in India. The programme has FASTag as its backbone as the #RFID powered technology is designed to enable toll payments while the vehicle is in motion, directly debiting the linked prepaid or savings account. A FASTag RFID tag is required to be affixed on the windscreen of the vehicle to initiate payments once the driver passes through a NETC-supported toll plaza.

At present, there are over 450 #tollplazas across India supporting the FASTag technology. Once a vehicle with a FASTag affixed on the windscreen drives through a toll plaza, the toll payment directly gets deducted from the driver's linked account.

How to get FASTag for your vehicle
Since the government is making FASTag mandatory from December 1, new vehicles by all the major automobile companies would by default support the latest technology. However, if you're looking for a FASTag for your existing vehicle, you can purchase it from banks such as State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and Axis Bank among others. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) back in May also partnered with Amazon to offer FASTags online in the country.

According to a dedicated page on the OnlineSBI website, the issuance of the reusable FASTag RFID tag is available at charge of Rs. 100 for all vehicle categories. SBI is also charging a refundable security amount between Rs. 200-400 that vehicle owners need to pay for getting a FASTag.

How to link FASTag to your bank account, recharge
Once a FASTag is purchased, you can link it to your existing bank account using My FASTag app on an Android device. You need to enter your vehicle registration number to enable the new experience. The My FASTag app also lets users recharge their RFID tag using UPI payment.

How FASTag payments work
The ETC infrastructure at the toll plazas supporting FASTag captures details such as Tag ID, vehicle class, registration number, and owner name and send it to the acquiring bank for processing. The acquiring bank then sends a request to the NETC Mapper to validate the tag details.
