What is FASTag?
FASTag is a toll collection system introduced to automate the toll collection at the toll plazas using the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification technology).
It is a physical device that gets attached to a vehicle windscreen and whenever you cross a toll plaza, the sensors installed at the toll plaza automatically deducts the toll tax from your FASTag account.
The government of India has made the installation of FASTag mandatory. Any vehicle that does not have a valid FASTag will be charged double toll tax.
Similarly, if the sensors at the toll tax are faulty then, you are entitled to use the toll road for free. The toll tax authorities cannot force the vehicle owners to pay cash for using the toll road.
