Maharashtra cabinet on Tuesday decided to make FASTag mandatory from April 1, 2025 for all vehicles in the state.<\/p>\n
FASTag is a RFID passive tag used for making toll payments directly from the customers linked prepaid or savings\/current account.<\/p>\n
It is affixed on the windscreen of the vehicle and enables the customer to drive through toll plazas, without stopping for any toll payments.<\/p>\n
The toll fare is directly deducted from the linked account of the customer. FASTag is also vehicle specific and once it is affixed to a vehicle, it cannot be transferred to another vehicle.<\/p>\n
FASTag can be purchased from any of the NETC Member Banks. If a FASTag is linked to the prepaid account, then it needs to be recharged\/ topped-up as per the usage of the customer.<\/p>\n
If adequate balance is not maintained by the customer, the FASTag gets blacklisted at the toll plaza.<\/p>\n
In such a scenario if the customer travels through a toll plaza without recharging then he won’t be able to avail the NETC services and would be required to pay the toll fare through cash.<\/p>\n
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has developed the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program to meet the electronic tolling requirements of the Indian market.<\/p>\n
It offers an interoperable nationwide toll payment solution including clearing house services for settlement and dispute management.<\/p>\n
Interoperability, as it applies to National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) system, encompasses a common set of processes, business rules and technical specifications which enable a customer to use their FASTag as payment mode on any of the toll plazas irrespective of who has acquired the toll plaza.<\/p>\n
FASTag is a device that employs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for making toll payments directly while the vehicle is in motion.<\/p>\n
FASTag (RFID Tag) is affixed on the windscreen of the vehicle and enables a customer to make the toll payments directly from the account which is linked to FASTag.<\/p>\n
FASTag offers the convenience of cashless payment along with benefits like – savings on fuel and time as the customer does not have to stop at the toll plaza.<\/p>\n
