What is Fastag?

A FASTag is a sticker that is attached to the windshield of your car. This is Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) enabled via the barcode and is linked with the registration details of your vehicle. That information is stored in the barcode itself. As you drive though any toll plaza on any national highway in India, there will be dedicated lanes that have FASTag readers installed overhead—and as your vehicle passes beneath them, the RFID code is detected for your vehicle, processed and the necessary toll amount is deducted from the prepaid balance in the FASTag account. All this without you having to stop, interact with a human being at a toll plaza and having to wait in long queues to pay cash. The government hopes that FASTags will reduce the wait time at toll plazas on national highways by enabling digital payments.
