FASTag / How to recharge your FASTag using Google Pay ?
Published: Apr 28, 2019
As per NPCI guidelines, Banks licensed to provide FASTag services, should provide FASTag customers with the option to recharge their FASTag through UPI. Among the mobile apps that allow users to transfer money through UPI, Google Pay is a very popular mobile app. Google Pay can be used to recharge your FASTag, whichever bank your FASTag is issued from.
The UPI handle to your FASTag is netc.XXXXXXXXX@bank-name.
For example if your FASTag is from Equitas bank and your vehicle number is KA 02 N 1234, then your UPI VPA (Virutal Private Address) or UPI ID or UPI handle would be netc.ka02n1234@equitas. This UPI ID or UPI address is case insensitive. So NETC.KA02n1234@EQUITAS is the same as netc.ka02n1234@equitas.
