FASTag is India’s electronic toll collection system that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to enable cashless payment at toll plazas while the vehicle is in motion. FASTag, in the form of an RFID tag, is attached to vehicle windscreens so that travellers can pay directly through the account linked to FASTag.

Each time a vehicle passes through a toll plaza with a FASTag attached, money is deducted from the account. If the FASTag balance is insufficient, subscribers may be required to pay twice the actual toll at toll booths. If you’re wondering how to check FASTag balance, you have four options. The simplest method is to leave a missed call.
