Who likes waiting in long queues at toll plazas? If you had a choice to dash down dozens of vehicles and drive past without waiting, wouldn’t you leap for it? Thanks to FASTag, this dream is now a reality, which makes driving on state and national highways a hassle-free experience.

But before looking at how IndusInd Bank makes your payments at toll plazas swift and secure, let us understand how FASTag work.

How FASTag Work

FASTag is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology-enabled tag, which, when attached to your car’s windscreen, enable electronic toll deduction. How? The applicable toll charges are debited from your prepaid wallet as you sail through the toll gates.

In February 2021, the Government of India made FASTag mandatory on all national highway plazas. As cash lanes have been discontinued, you will necessarily need to get a FASTag for your vehicle. To get an IndusInd Bank’s FASTag, apply online. Furthermore, the magic of RFID ensures that the toll plazas recognise your vehicle and levy charges accordingly.

Using a FASTag means fewer stoppages on the highway and minimal toll payment hassles. The tag, once active, eliminates the need to look after toll receipts or carry around cash, especially on long road journeys. Moreover, with an IndusInd Bank’s FASTag, you enjoy occasional exclusive discounts and offers on toll payments as well.
