To reduce vehicular traffic at the toll plazas, the Government of India (GOI) has mandated all toll plazas, pan India, to make toll payments electronic by 1st December, 2019. With this mandate, all vehicles travelling through toll plazas will have to pay toll charges using FASTag.
What is FASTag?
FASTag is a simple to use, reloadable tag which enables automatic deduction of toll charges and lets you pass through the toll plaza without stopping for the cash transaction. FASTag is linked to a prepaid account from which the applicable toll amount is deducted. The tag employs Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) technology and is affixed on the vehicle’s windscreen after the tag account is active.
FASTag is a perfect solution for a hassle free trip on national highways. FASTag is presently operational at 407 toll plazas across national and state highways. More toll plazas will be brought under the FASTag program in the future. ICICI bank FASTag program is part of National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) initiative rolled out by NPCI under the guidelines of NHAI and IHMCL.
Benefits of FASTag:
- Saves Fuel and Time: FASTag is read by the tag reader at the plaza and the toll amount is deducted automatically, when the vehicle approaches the toll plaza. The vehicle with FASTag doesn’t need to stop at the toll plaza for the cash transaction
- SMS alerts for transactions: Customer will receive SMS alerts on his registered mobile numbers for all the transactions done in his tag account
- Online recharge: Customer may recharge his tag account online through, Credit Card/ Debit Card/ NEFT/ RTGS/ UPI or Net Banking
- No need to carry cash: Customer doesn’t need to worry about carrying cash for the toll payments
- Web portal for customers: Customers can access their statements by logging on the FASTag customer portal
