HDFC FASTag / What is HDFC FASTag ? What are the benefits of using HDFC FASTag?

Published: May 13, 2019

The FASTag program also called the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) or Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is presently operational at 450+ toll plazas across national and state highways to collect toll fees digitally through an RFID Tag called the FASTag.

FASTag is a simple to use, reloadable tag which enables automatic deduction of toll charges and lets you pass through the toll plaza without stopping for the cash transaction. FASTag is linked to a prepaid account from which the applicable toll amount is deducted. The tag employs Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) technology and is affixed on the vehicle's windscreen after the tag account is active.

HDFC FASTag is provided by HDFC Bank, one of the largest private banks in India. HDFC Bank has been licensed by NHAI, NPCI and MoRTH to provide FASTag services to customers.
