From the next 15 December, FASTag has been made compulsory on small and big trains. If your car is not fastened and you go through the toll plaza of the National Highway, then you may face problems.

In such a situation, it is important that you keep the FASTag on the vehicle and keep it free from the hassles.
What is FASTag?
In order to promote digital payments on toll plazas, the government has made the FASTag system mandatory. You will need to place this tag on the windscreen of your vehicle. Apart from the National Highways Authority of India, this tag can be ordered from almost all major banks, e-commerce and mobile wallets in the country. Apart from this, tags can also be purchased from 28,500 sales centers established by the Indian Highway Management Company (IHMCL).
This includes all toll plazas, RTOs, Transport centers, Bank branches, selected petrol pumps etc. on the national highway. Please tell here that everyone who has a four-wheeler can take the FASTag. For this, a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, passport size photo, address proof and a copy of the KYC document will be required as a necessary document.
If you have any complaint related to FASTag, then you will have to call the helpline number. You can file a complaint by calling the helpline number of the bank or mobile wallet issuing the FASTag . This is the helpline number
How does FASTag work?
Now, there is no need to stop if you pass through the toll plaza after putting the FASTag on the windscreen of the vehicle. The cameras on the toll plaza will scan it and the amount will be automatically deducted from your account. This process is completed in a few seconds. Here, let us know that the FASTag on the windscreen of the vehicle is recharged like a mobile phone. FASTag can be recharged through My FASTag app or NetBanking, Credit / Debit Card, UPI and other popular methods.
The biggest advantage of this tag is the saving of time and money. Actually, cashback is being given by the government. At the same time, different banks or companies issuing this tag are also giving discounts. Apart from this, the fastag gets rid of the jam. At the same time, fuel tax is consumed more by paying toll tax from cash. It is being claimed that saving fuel will also reduce pollution.
