How to Activate the Inactive FASTag? Recover Account

There are several reasons why a FASTag might become inactive. Here are some of the most common:

  1. Insufficient Balance: If there isn’t enough balance in your FASTag wallet, the FASTag will be declined and become inactive until you recharge it.
  2. Expired Validity: Similar to debit cards and credit cards, FASTags have validity. If this period, the tag will automatically become inactive. You’ll need to renew it.
  3. Blacklisted: If you misuse the FASTag (e.g., tampering with it, using it on more than one vehicle) or fail to pay tolls repeatedly because of a low balance, it might be blacklisted by the issuer or authorities.
  4. KYC Incomplete: Ensure your KYC is complete for continued usage.

There are 2 easy ways to activate the FASTag. One is online, and the other is an offline method. Read below to understand which is a more suitable way for you.

  • Your pre-activated FASTag will be delivered to you within 7-8 working days by the certified bank.
