FASTag

FASTag

The FASTag card is usually pasted on the windscreen of a car and the scanner is placed at the toll plazas on highways.

FASTag is an electronic toll collection system that is being operated and managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) through its subsidiary Indian Highway Management Co. Ltd (IHMCL). The system uses the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) – a technology that uses radio waves to passively identify a tagged object -- for facilitating toll payments directly from a prepaid or savings account.

Vehicle owners get a FASTag card affixed to the windscreen of their vehicles and pay their toll taxes electronically by just driving through the toll plazas without making a stopover for transactions.
