KEY POINTS
· Lanes on national highway toll plazas across India will accept toll only through FASTag fitted in a vehicle that pays toll automatically when the vehicle crosses the boom barrier of the toll plaza.
· National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will collect toll without human intervention, and vehicles need not stop to pay toll. The objective is to remove bottlenecks and capture all toll electronically.
· The device employs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for payments directly from the prepaid or savings account linked to it.
· A FASTag is valid for five years, and can be recharged as and when required.
· A copy of the vehicle registration certificate and a photo of the vehicle are enough to get a FASTag from NHAI, said officials. Banks may seek certain additional documents.
· Vehicles entering FASTag lanes without FASTag will be charged twice the toll amount.
· Users have complained that the tag-reader is often not able to read the tag; also, the SMS alert is often coming late.
· NHAI has set up a toll-free helpline number, “1033” for tag-related complaints. The website for individual bank helplines is at ihmcl.com. Additionally, the My FASTag app has a customer-care link.
