Have you seen FASTag lanes in Toll Plazas where vehicles easily pass through, while you are stuck in the queue waiting for your turn? Ever wondered what FASTag is, and how it works? Here are the answers for all your questions!
FASTag is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology enabled sticker. This sticker, which is fixed on the windscreen of your vehicle, will enable you to race through the toll plaza without having to wait and pay cash. Every time you pass through these specified FASTag lanes, the tag reader at the plaza reads the FASTag and the toll amount will directly be deducted from your prepaid account or bank account linked to it.
