The National Highways

Addressing an event organized here on the topic 'Ek Desh Ek Fastag', Gadkari
said that at present, there are a total of 527 toll plazas on national highways
in the country, out of which all the lanes of 380 toll plazas have been
fastened. The remaining lanes are also being equipped with Fastag. Let's know how
to buy Fastag online.
How FASTag works
The Electronic Toll
Collection System or Fastag Scheme was first introduced in India in the year
2014 which is gradually being implemented at the toll plazas across the
country. With the help of Fastag system, you will be able to get rid of the
hassles caused while paying toll tax in the toll plaza. With the help of
Fastag, you will be able to pay your toll tax at the toll plaza non-stop.
The windscreen of the car is
fastened and has a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Now as soon as your
car comes near the toll plaza, the sensor on the toll plaza comes in contact
with the fastag installed in the windscreen of your vehicle and deducts the fee
charged on that toll plaza from your fastag account and without you You can pay
your tax by staying there. After payment, the message will also come on your
phone.
This fastag installed in
your car will start its work as soon as your prepaid account is activated.
Also, when the money in your Fastag account is exhausted, you will have to
recharge it again. Fastag will only be valid for five years, after that you
will have to install a new fastag on your car.
