FASTag devices News
In a bid to give a major fillip to digital payments and bring in enhanced transparency, the government has decided to implement National Electronic Toll Collection (FASTag) programme on pan India basis to remove bottlenecks on toll plazas and ensure seamless movement of traffic and collection of user fee as per the notified rates, using passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, according to an official statement.
FASTag is presently operational at about 370 toll plazas across National Highways.
The tag can be purchased from tag issuers and if it is linked to the prepaid account then the vehicle owner is required to recharge/ top up the tag as per requirement.
