F@staV44UQ0

A great initiative has been taken by the ministry of road transport and highways government by introducing the ‘FASTag monthly pass’. Which has been initiated by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), and decided to provide FASTag to the monthly pass holders. It was being introduced to promote the cashless payment at several toll plazas. NHAI has also announced the free FASTag monthly pass for the vehicles owned by “divyangjan”(people with disabilities)

This was initially a key project in the Golden Quadrilateral between Ahmedabad and Mumbai in 2014. There has been a great advancement in the FASTag acceptance fields. As of 2016, there have been around 347 toll plazas on national highways that have started accepting FASTag payments. FASTag monthly pass basically works on RFID technology and helps in making toll payments through pre-paid accounts linked to it directly.

It has been made necessary by the government for all vehicles to access the FASTag monthly pass, it is basically to control the traffic and make people aware of the cashless transaction.

NHAI Government and FASTag Monthly Pass

It has been decided by the NHAI Government that user fees at all the toll plazas across the country will only be collected using the FASTag monthly pass, also it has been updated that 70% of the vehicle users have already purchased FASTag monthly pass stickers from either bank or through the point of sales opened in the toll plazas.

  • The NHAI ministry has updated a detailed standard operating procedure for 100% implementation of the FASTag monthly pass from 1st January 2021.
  • In order to avoid any sort of inconvenience to travelers the NHAI ministry has also decided that the vehicles without FASTag monthly passes can get it at all the toll plazas and it also wanted to provide high-performing electronic toll collection.

In such cases, ensure the toll receipt mentions your vehicle’s registration number correctly. Sometimes, the toll is debited from your Fastag, but the toll booth system fails to get updated. In this situation, you’ll have to upload the photo of your toll receipt on your Fastag provider’s website/portal/app and request a refund. No refund is issued unless the photo of the toll receipt is uploaded, and it has your vehicle’s registration number mentioned on it.

When the system works smoothly, the toll booth displays Fastag and vehicle category immediately after the reader reads your Fastag and the barrier arm lifts automatically.

Not all Fastag providers send an SMS (Some do, some do it later, and some just don’t). It is always a good idea to verify your toll transactions on your Fastag provider’s website/portal/app after your journey.

Why is closing the NHAI FASTag account important when you sell the car?

In case you have sold or transferred your vehicle, you should get the FASTag deactivated/closed immediately as the Toll payment will continue to be deducted from the source account to which the FASTag is linked. Till you close your FASTag account, the new buyer of your car will also not be able to get a new FASTag issued for the car as only one active FASTag can be linked to a particular vehicle.

How to close an NHAI FASTag linked account?

Various service providers have different procedures for the deactivation or the closure of the FASTag-linked account or e-wallet. One of the most common ways can be reaching out to the Customer Support of your FASTag provider and raising a request for the closure/deactivation of the FASTag-linked account. MoRTH/NHAI/IHMCL has launched a helpline number 1033 for addressing FASTag complaints- Customers can simply dial 1033 for any FASTag-related concerns.

How much discount can I avail in NHAI FASTag?

FASTag must avail discounts on national highways toll plazas. Vehicles with a valid functional FASTag can claim a discount for making return journeys within 24 hours or any other local exemptions. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has made it mandatory to use FASTag for availing return journey discounts or any other exemptions on toll fee plazas. Vehicles with a valid functional FASTag can claim a discount for making return journeys within 24 hours or any other local exemptions. A gazette notification no. 534 E dated August 24, 2020, to amend the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008  has been notified in this respect.

How do I get a FASTag?

The official way to obtain a FASTag is to apply through your bank or digital payment applications such as PAYTM. The procedure is uploading your car number and evidence of registered owner ID online. After that, after payment is received, the tag will be shipped to the specified address.

Can I get FASTag immediately?

The easiest approach to acquire your tag quickly is to go to a local toll booth. Most banks and digital payment providers have set up temporary kiosks where workers are assigned to sell the tags. The representative will want car information, such as the registration certificate and evidence of ownership. If the car is registered to a corporation, the user may also give his or her personal ID.

Which bank is offering free FASTag?

You may obtain a Fastag card for your vehicle for free by visiting the Toll Plaza office. There are also special offers available with ICICI Bank FASTag!

  1. Registration Certificate (RC) of the vehicle
  2. Passport-size photo of the vehicle owner
  3. KYC documents (PAN Card/Driving License/Passport/Voter ID/Aadhaar Card (with address)).

What are the details about FASTag implementation?

If you’re not familiar with FASTag and how it works, now’s the time to learn. According to the most recent government regulations, FASTag will be made mandatory for all cars in the nation beginning on February 16, 2021, failing which you will be required to pay double the toll price. According to research by the Transport Corporation of India (TCI) and IIM Kolkata, transportation delays cost India around USD 6.6 billion per year.

To address this shortfall, the government implemented Electronic Toll Collection (ETC). Taking a lesson from this, the National Highways Programme stated that it will undergo extensive reorganization in order to improve the efficiency of the National Highways Grid’s operation.

What benefits of using FASTag right now?

While one of the primary goals of FASTag technology is to maintain optimal traffic flow and reduce congestion at toll plazas, there are a number of other FASTag advantages.

  • Those who often utilize roads for commuting will no longer have to waste time looking for change at highway toll plazas.
  • It is a contactless payment method that prioritizes cleanliness and safety.
  • It decreases the amount of work necessary during human interactions, making the payment process more effective and efficient.
  • Because there is no idling at toll booths, there is seamless movement on national and state highways, which decreases automotive emissions and carbon footprint.
  • Long lineups might alleviate anxiety among drivers since vehicles will be traveling in sync with one another.
  • FASTag customers additionally receive a 2.5 percent payback on all transactions made at national toll plazas, resulting in even more savings.

Do you need a FASTag even if you don’t take your vehicle on highways?

The government intends to use FASTag as a multi-utility payment mechanism in places other than roads, such as parking lots. FASTag was made necessary to have third-party insurance in April 2020, which is a minimum insurance cover required for all automobiles. Furthermore, if you enter a FASTag lane without a FASTag, you will be charged double the toll amount. The same rule applies if your FASTag is inoperable due to RFID impairment or inadequate balance. Having a FASTag is thus a question of convenience as well as safety.

What is the validity of FASTag?

FASTag is valid for a minimum of five years, eliminating the need for yearly renewals. You can also receive SMS notifications on toll deductions and the balance of your FASTag account. Furthermore, HDFC Bank provides an online FASTag reloadable facility for low-cost recharges or top-ups.

What will happen if I don’t use FASTag?

It can be annoying not to have a FASTag installed in your car, and it will be obligatory for all cars beginning in January 2021. So, buy a FASTag for your automobile and help the country achieve its digital goals.

How much does it cost and what about validity?

According to the IHMCL, banks can charge up to Rs 200 for issuing the tag, including all taxes. A security deposit is also required, which is generally approximately Rs 200 for most automobiles (depending on the vehicle type).

The tag then requires a minimum recharge value, generally Rs 100, to remain active. Aside from that, different banks may impose an extra transaction fee for each recharge. It is recommended to look at the websites of banks or prepaid wallets to discover how much they charge.

Currently, the security deposit cannot be used to pay tolls. The establishment is debating whether this security deposit may also be used as a toll, but nothing has been decided. FASTag is valid indefinitely as long as the scanner can read the tag. FASTag is just for automobiles, not people.

Which highways accept FASTag?

FASTags have been implemented for toll collection at all 615 NHAI toll plazas and 100 state highway toll plazas. The number will steadily rise.

How to operate a FASTag account, like recharge, top up, etc?

The FASTag mobile app (Android and iOS) may be linked to it. Each FASTag is assigned a unique number. Banks have their own web-based systems in place. It works just like any other prepaid e-wallet.

What will happen if you enter a FASTag lane without having a FASTag by mistake?

The highway marshals should ideally not allow you to enter a FASTag lane. However, if you find yourself in a FASTag lane, you must pay double the toll price. Even if your FASTag is not working due to RFID damage or a lack of balance, you will be charged double the toll amount. Policymakers are considering partnering with banks to create a system in which the user may pay cash and the tag is recharged on the spot via a payment gateway (such as the Bharat Bill Payment System). However, this is still in the planning stages.

Do you need FASTag even if you do not take your car to the highways?

Ideally, yes, because the government has intended to make FASTag necessary for third-party insurance, which is a minimum insurance cover required for all automobiles, beginning in April of this year. Furthermore, in order to encourage usage, the government intends to incorporate FASTag for payments at highway rest stops, parking lots, and other locations. As a result, the tag is transformed into a multi-utility payment instrument.

What documents do I need to get/activate a FASTag?

A copy of your valid driver’s license (as evidence of address and picture ID), as well as the vehicle’s registration certificate. Banks demand KYC papers such as Aadhaar, passports, and PANs.

What if I am in the toll exemption/concession category?

If you live within 10 kilometers of the toll plaza, you must provide evidence of residency in order to obtain a FASTag and benefit from the concession.

How to resolve complaints about FASTag?

The NHAI’s all-India hotline number is 1033. When it comes to NHAI’s FASTags, complaint resolution is often quick. Customers who have FASTags issued by banks, on the other hand, are routed to the bank’s customer service, and concerns take longer to resolve. To address this, the government is contemplating integrating the hotline in some way, so that a complaint produces a “ticket,” which is then forwarded to the bank, and the issue is handled without the client having to track down the complaint. The majority of complaints include broken RFID, low balance, recharge inquiries, and technological issues such as deducting SMS arriving late, among other things.
