FASTag is a prepaid rechargeable tag sticker attached to the windshield of your vehicle and it is developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) under the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program. Radio-frequency ID (RFID) technology-enabled FASTag enables contactless payment when your vehicle passes through a toll plaza lane.

SBI Bank Fastag charges for round trip
SBI bank Fastag uses an automatic system for deducting the charges of a round trip. Toll charges are different for a single trip i.e for passing through the toll for one time and for a round trip i.e passing the same toll plaza twice in a given time.
This is how SBI Fastag calculates the charges of a round trip. If a single trip costs Rs 40 and a round trip costs Rs 55, when a vehicle crosses the toll for the first time, Rs 40 is deducted from the Fastag.
When that vehicle returns through that toll plaza within 24 hours, the difference between Rs 55 and Rs 40 ie Rs 15 is deducted. If the vehicle crosses the toll again, then Rs. 40 will be deducted.
