Introduction

FASTag is a digital payment system to enable cashless payment at toll plazas on the Indian National Highways. It is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag that you must affix on the window screen of your vehicle. When you pass a toll plaza, the tag is scanned by the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) booths and the toll tax is auto-deducted from a pre-paid account. The Government has made FASTag usage mandatory for all four and multi-axle vehicles in India. Find out how to recharge FASTag in this article.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to add money in FASTag, you can recharge your account anytime. Since FASTag is mandatory, you must ensure that you have sufficient balances in your pre-paid account. Failure to maintain adequate balances, especially while passing toll plazas, can result in your FASTag account getting blocked on the back-end. If your FASTag is blocked, you will be unable to pass through the ETC lane and would have to pay twice the toll fare. You can quickly recharge your account with your debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI.
