In Depth: FASTag - No More Queues

Описание: Starting December 1st, all four-wheelers in India must have FASTag Radio Frequency Identification stickers on their windscreen to make payments at toll plazas on all national highways across the country.

This means that from next month onwards, toll payments will be made only through FASTags under the National Electronic Toll Collection programme.

The pan-India programme is intended to remove bottlenecks and ensure seamless movement of traffic.

In case of non-compliance, double the toll amount will be charged for traveling through FASTag lanes without tags.

There will of course be a hybrid lane as well, where the usual toll will be charged from non-FASTag vehicles.

In this edition of IN DEPTH, we try and understand what is FASTag and how does it work? Where and how can you get these FASTags for your four-wheelers, what documents are required to get them and yes the many benefits of using a FASTag.
