What's FASTag?

Electronic toll collection system has been introduced in India by the National Highways Authority of India to resolve the problems faced by toll collection systems on toll plazas.

FASTag will help you to give your toll without stopping at toll plazas. All you need to do is put FASTag on your vehicles. You can buy this tag from an official tag issuer or an affiliated bank.
