Is it Possible to Use Multiple FASTag on a Vehicle?
Posted on Wednesday, November 23rd, 2022 | By IndusInd Bank
FASTag comes with several benefits, including facilitating easier and more convenient road trips. Only one FASTag can be used for one vehicle.
A great way to explore new places at a leisurely pace, road trips have an undeniable appeal for those overcome by wanderlust. Today, thanks to FASTag, serpentine vehicle queues are no longer a common sight at highway toll booths, making such journeys easier and more convenient.
What is FASTag?
Simply speaking, FASTag refers to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology-enabled card that is affixed to a vehicle’s windscreen. The card enables the toll money to be deducted electronically, eliminating the need for drivers to stop or slow down at toll plazas for manual cash transactions. Today, the use of FASTag has become compulsory for all private and commercial vehicles. Without FASTag, vehicle owners have to pay double the toll fee in cash. FASTag charges are reasonable but vary in accordance with vehicle class.
Benefits of Fastag
The key benefits of FASTag are as follows: a) Saves time and fuel by eliminating the need to slow down or queue up at toll booths b) Avoids traffic snarls c) Helps the environment by reducing the use of paper and fuel d) Easy to apply for and recharge online e) Has a long validity of 5 years f) Simplifies the process of tracking toll expenses as all FASTag users get SMS and email notifications every time a transaction takes place.
Can you Use Multiple FASTag on a Vehicle?
Only one FASTag can be issued against a particular vehicle at any given point of time. Hence, you cannot use one FASTag for multiple vehicles. If you own more than one car, you have to purchase one tag for each vehicle.
Likewise, it is forbidden to purchase and use more than one FASTag in one car. In case multiple tags are used in one vehicle, users may face operational issues or get blacklisted.
