Indusind FASTag

FasTag, operated by the National Highways Authority of India is an electronic toll collection system. The unique Radio Frequency Identification technology is used to make direct toll payments from the prepaid or savings account linked to the fastag. FASTags are issued by 22 certified banks including IndusInd Bank Ltd., using various channels.

 

Overview

Waiting in long queues to pay the toll fee in the toll plazas was the common scenario for a long time. But the introduction of FasTag has eased the process of passing through the toll plazas easily, and quickly as it enables automatic deduction of toll fees and helps the passenger to pass through the toll plazas without having to wait for a long time. The adoption of Radio Frequency Identification Technology has brought a revolution in the payment of toll fees.

The FasTag which is fixed on the windscreen of the vehicle will help the passengers to wade through the toll plaza. Currently, more than 420+ toll plazas across the country are using the FasTag solution.
