NHAI i.e National Highway Authority of India has launched the Fastag system which is a rechargeable pre-paid card that uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology and is attached to the windscreen of your four-wheeler vehicles for paying toll tax at the toll plazas in the country. Since Fastag is now compulsory in India so all toll plazas in the country are now enabled with sensors that can scan the Fastag installed on your vehicle from a distance of even 25 meters. So when your vehicle with a Fastag on its windscreen comes near these sensors, then the toll tax will be deducted from your account without any need to stop the traveler at the toll plaza.
