IDBI Bank Fastag - How to Recharge Online & Check Balance

Since Fastag has been made compulsory by the Indian Government for all vehicles traveling through toll plazas which come under the National Highways Authority of India, it became a well-known method for the vehicle owners for the electronic payment of toll tax. Although Fastag is now widely used in India on all types of vehicles be it private or corporate, still many people have many doubts about it including what is it, where to get it from, how it works, etc. So let’s see in this post in detail about Fastag and how you can purchase it from IDBI Bank.

Fastag is an electronic device that is created to avoid four-wheeler owners to stop at the toll plazas for the manual payment of toll tax. Radio Frequency Identification technology i.e RFID used in both the Fastag device on the vehicle and the scanners at the toll plazas, makes the communication between the Fastag device and the toll plazas automatically pay the toll tax. We can say that Fastag is basically a service rather than a physical device which makes the toll payment process quicker and cashless.
