How to Get a FASTag Online from IndusInd Bank
Posted on Monday, June 26th, 2023 | By IndusInd Bank
FASTags facilitate smooth and convenient toll payments in India across national and state highways. Since 2021, the Government of India has mandated the use of FASTags for both commercial and private vehicles. You can buy FASTag online or offline from IndusInd Bank with a quick and hassle-free process. If a replacement is needed, you may order one from the IndusInd Bank FASTag portal at a nominal cost.
In 2021, the Government of India mandated the use of FASTags for toll payments across national highways. Private as well as commercial vehicles must display a valid FASTag on the windscreen when crossing a national highway; failure to comply will result in a penalty of double the toll fee.
Based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, a FASTag allows users to pay the toll fee electronically without needing to halt at the toll collection booth for manual payments. This easy-to-use and reloadable tag is affixed on the vehicle’s windshield and is linked to the user’s prepaid account – a mobile wallet or a bank account. The applicable amount is debited automatically, thus accelerating the toll payment process for users.
Since the Government’s mandate in 2021, the FASTag network has increased from 770 to 1,228 toll plazas, including 339 state toll plazas. Over 6.4 crore tags have been issued to date, resulting in reduced wait times on toll plazas for users.
If you don’t have your tag yet, buy a FASTag online or offline from IndusInd Bank.
