NEW hyderabad :

 Crossing toll plazas will no more be the same from December 1 as the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways will make it mandatory for all vehicles to have FASTags affixed on windscreens of all vehicles. Those passing toll plazas without the electronic tags will be charged double the toll fee as all lanes will be converted to FASTag-only lanes from next month.

As soon as your vehicle approaches a toll plaza, the tag reader scans your FASTag and allows you to cross the toll gate after deducting charges from your account.

How to buy FASTags :



Besides Amazon, you can buy a FASTag from select branches of select banks like SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, etc and also through point-of-sale counters at national highway toll plazas.

To buy FASTags, you need to submit KYC documents -- Registration Certificate (RC) of the vehicle, passport-size photograph of the vehicle owner and KYC documents of the vehicle owner.

After buying it, you need to activate it by entering details related to you and your vehicle in MY FASTag mobile app.

Fast tag benefits:

Built on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, FASTags allow direct payments of toll fees from the prepaid or savings account linked to it. This means that your vehicles doesn't need to stop at toll plazas and can move seamlessly on highways.

To popularise FASTags, Indian Highway Management Company Limited (IHMCL) is offering a cashback of 2.5% on all toll payments at national highways
