What is a Fastag?
If you visit National Highways and passes through Toll Plazas, then you may have noticed that some vehicle cross over the toll plazas through dedicated lanes without waiting a lot. This is done with the help of a new device known as Fastag. Fastag is a small device that is attached from the inside of the vehicle’s windshield and allows you to pay at toll plazas without having to stop the vehicle.
As mentioned, Fastag allows you to pay the toll tax or parking fees without stopping your car. This happens with the help of a technology known as RFID i.e Radio Frequency Identification Technology. With the help of RFID, the antennas at the toll plazas or parking areas detect your vehicle when you come near them and automatically charge the amount of toll or parking from your Fastag account.
Installing Fastag on your vehicle is very easy and it takes just a few minutes. You have to clean the area of the windscreen where you have to place the Fastag, so the Fastag sticker grips well on your vehicle.
You can purchase a new Fastag for your vehicle from many platforms either online or offline. ICICI Bank has recently partnered with Amazon Pay to issue Fastag. So you can easily apply a new Fastag through Amazon Pay.
