All You Need to Know About Fast Tag

In 2016, the Indian government implemented the FASTag system for contactless toll collection. While the deadline for registration has been delayed several times, it is now mandatory across the country. Because the toll charges are instantly deducted from the Prepaid Savings/Current Account, there is no need to stop at toll plazas or fight with cash payments. The location of the FASTag is a typical question among those new to the contactless toll payment system. Here's everything you need to know about utilising your FASTag:

The FASTag is a tiny tag sticker that must be attached to your vehicle's windscreen. To one side of the tag, there is an adhesive coating to make it easier for car owners to place it on their windscreens. Simply peel off the white adhesive liner from the tag and attach it to your car.

It's important to keep in mind that repositioning or removing the tag after it's been pasted might destroy the RFID circuit, rendering the tag useless.

So, where are you going to put the FASTag in your car? The FASTag should be placed at the upper centre of the windscreen, directly behind the rear-view mirror. It has to be glued to the inside of the windshield. If there isn't enough room behind the rearview mirror, the tag might be positioned slightly to the left of the passenger seat.

At toll plazas, make sure the tag is positioned in a clear area on the windscreen for easy scanning. Also, ensure sure the tag isn't stuck behind any metal plates or stickers, since this might interfere with its radio communication mechanism.

Most banks and apss like PayTm offer fast tag. You may also use the above platforms to recharge your FASTag.
