A Comprehensive Guide on Fastag Recharge Limits
What is a FASTag?
A FASTag is a small, adhesive sticker containing a microchip that's securely fastened to your car's windshield.
This chip uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, similar to contactless credit cards, to communicate with scanners at toll plazas.
What are the uses of a FASTag?
The primary function of a FASTag is to facilitate cashless toll payments on national highways in India. By eliminating the need to stop and pay cash at toll booths, FASTags offers several benefits:
- Reduced Traffic Congestion: Faster toll transactions through FASTag lanes keep traffic flowing smoothly, reducing congestion and overall travel time.
- Convenience: Drivers can enjoy a seamless travel experience without fumbling for cash or waiting in long queues.
- Fuel Efficiency: Stopping and starting at toll booths consumes fuel. FASTags help maintain a steady pace, improving fuel efficiency.
- Automatic Top-Ups (Optional): Some FASTags offer the option to set up automatic top-ups when the balance falls below a certain threshold, ensuring uninterrupted travel.
How does FASTag work?
Imagine driving up to a toll booth with a designated FASTag lane. Simply slow down and keep moving – there's no need to come to a complete stop.
The FASTag scanner detects your car's unique tag and automatically deducts the toll amount from your linked prepaid account. You'll receive a notification on your phone confirming the transaction, and you're on your way, saving both time and fuel.
FASTag recharge limits
FASTag accounts are prepaid, so you'll need to ensure sufficient balance before hitting the road. Recharge limits vary depending on the issuing bank or service provider but typically range between Rs. 100 and Rs. 2500.
