What is Fastag?

Fastag is an electronic system for automatically paying toll tax when your vehicle passes through toll plazas. It is a handy device for those who travel often and those who pass through toll plazas on the National Highways. Anyone who purchases a Fastag gets a small sticker type of device and has to attach it to the windscreen of their vehicle.

This Fastag device allows the driver to cross through dedicated lanes and charge automatically for the toll tax cost without having to stop at the toll plazas every time.

The Fastag device has many benefits. In addition to offering the possibility to skip queues and traffic, it is to conveniently control all online expenses, monitor all transactions of toll tax, etc.

The base of Fastag is the RFID technology, which stands for Radio Frequency Identification technology. This RFID technology enables the Fastag device of your vehicle to be scanned by the scanners at the toll plaza. When your vehicle approaches toll plazas, these scanners detect the Fastag, and the toll payment automatically deducts from your Fastag wallet.

So, the working of a Fastag device can be summarized below:

• When Fastag comes near toll plazas, the scanners catch the signals emitted by the Fastag device’s RFID technology.
• The scanner detects the vehicle, records its details, and deducts money from your Fastag account.
• The toll barrier is raised after the money is deducted, and you can continue your journey.
