FAQ’s

Importance of linking FASTag to a bank account

When you purchase a FASTag, you can recharge it through Net Banking, prepaid e-wallet, Credit Card or Debit Card. However, linking it directly to your bank account frees you from the hassles of recharging it manually. The toll tax gets deducted directly from your linked bank account whenever you pass through a toll plaza. So you don't need to remember to recharge it every time.

Differences between offline and online application methods

For an offline application, you must visit a FASTag booth at a toll plaza or find your nearest bank branch offering these services. Submit the required documents and wait for the verification process to be completed. Alternatively, when applying for a FASTag online, you can provide your details and documents online and get your FASTag at your doorstep. So, the online application method is much faster and more convenient than the offline method.
