The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said in a statement, “To further enhance the digital collection of user fees through FASTag at the National Highway Toll Plaza, the National Highways Authority of India has approved 100 for NHAI FASTag between February 15 and 29, 2020. It has been decided to waive the Fastag cost of Rs. ” Vehicle owners can visit any authorized point-of-sale locations with valid vehicle registration certificate (RC) so that FASTag is available for free.

It has become mandatory to put FASTag on a four wheeler passing through the toll plaza of the National Highway. The government is using this technology to promote digital payments as well as to reduce pollution and relieve long lines.

Fastag will meet at NHAI’s toll plaza, RTO, common service center, transport hub and petrol pump. To find the Fastag Sales Center near NHAI, one can be contacted on MyFASTag App, www.ihmcl.com or on NH Helpline No. 1033. There has been no change in the security deposit prescribed for Fastag and the minimum balance in the valet will remain unchanged. To take Fastag, customers have to keep a copy of the vehicle registration certificate ie RC.
If your Fastag is linked to your bank account, then you will not need to keep a separate rupee or balance in a prepaid wallet. However, you will have to maintain the balance or sufficient amount in your linked bank account. Therefore, keep this in mind while leaving the house, so that payment can be made easily at the toll plaza.

If you have linked Fastag to a prepaid wall, you can use credit card / debit card / NEFT / RTGS or any of these through net-banking, check or other online means to recharge. You will have to pay a nominal additional fee to recharge through such other means.

Drivers of KYC, or purchasers of Fastag can recharge up to Rs 1 lakh in it. At the same time, purchasers with limited KYC cannot keep more than twenty thousand rupees in their Fastag prepaid wallet. Not only this, the limit of putting money in it every month is also twenty thousand rupees.
