How to check FASTag account balance online: A step-by-step guide
The Indian government, in the past couple of years, has taken active measures to digitise the economy, which includes promoting digital payments using United Payments Interface (UPI) and making all of government’s services and benefits available online among other things. In addition to this, the government has also introduced a service called FASTag for making payments on toll booths across the country.
Now, FASTag is a device that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for making payments at toll booths from the accounts linked to it. This tiny device is fixed on the windscreen of your vehicle and it is valid for a span of five years. Users need to recharge their FASTag accounts regularly in order to continue making payments on the toll booths. So, here are four ways you can check FASTag balance online.
