FASTag Recharge: Most of the people do not have any problem in paying the toll. At the same time, many measures have also been taken by the government to make the payment of toll easy.
At the same time, people also have to stand in long lines due to toll many times. In order to remove the problems of the people, FASTags were started by the government. With this, people can cross the toll without stopping and paying. However, people should keep many things in mind regarding FASTags.
This is how money is spent
Sometime back the government introduced FASTags, which are prepaid tags fixed on vehicle windscreens that allow you to move through dedicated lanes at toll plazas without stopping. Vehicles are identified using Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) and money is then deducted from the account.
It is important to follow the rules, although you should know about the rules of FASTag. If the rules of FASTag are ignored then trouble may have to be faced. Let’s know about some rules…
First and foremost in the new rules of FASTag is that these tags have been made mandatory by the government.
If you enter the FASTag lane without the FASTag, you will be liable to pay double the toll amount.
– If your FASTag is not serviceable due to some damage to RFID or insufficient balance, you will have to pay double the toll amount.
– From April 2020, the government has made FASTag mandatory for obtaining third party insurance for your vehicle, making it essential to obtain FASTag even if you are not taking your car on the highway.
Most vehicles sold after 2017 come with pre-fitted FASTags. So, if you are the owner of an old vehicle, you will have to get FASTag done.
