The NHAI (National Highways Authority of India has directed all toll plaza in India to go digital for collecting toll tax to reduce road traffic and long queue at the toll plaza. There is a mandatory requirement for all the vehicles to have a FASTag RFID tag on their vehicle so that the tax would be deducted from the account directly. In this article, I will discuss the detailed process of applying the ICICI FASTag account and how to recharge the account.

What is FASTag?

FASTag is the electronic toll collection system through which the toll tax has been deducted directly from your FASTag account. So you don’t have to stand in a long queue at the toll tax booth on the highways.

FASTag uses a wireless RFID tag that is pasted on your car’s windscreen, as you approach the toll tax the RFID tag will be scanned and the toll tax will be deducted from your prepaid account.

This is now a mandatory system at the toll tax for collecting the tax. If you don’t have the FASTag account then you will have to pay the double tax as a penalty.

A public circular from the Road Ministry said that from December 1, all highway toll plazas will be converted to the Fastag system. This means that there will be no cash payment after the system is implemented. And you have to fast-start this system. You can get this FASTag from any bank or online. Whose every process is quite simple.

I have written a detailed article on What is FASTag and how to apply online?
