National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) introduced FASTag in the year 2014 to provide for hassle-free toll payment. FASTag is a kind of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology-enabled card that lets drivers pay their toll tax electronically at toll booths.
One can avail the benefit of FASTag from the Point of Sale (PoS) locations at toll plazas or any distribution agents. People can also get FASTag from PoS outlets of the National Electronic Toll Collection (NECT) banks like State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank. To cut the physical effort of getting a FASTag, one can also head to www.nhai.gov.in website.

For ones who would like to look up their balance online, visit the website of your issuer agency, bank, or mobile wallet provider. For instance, if the FASTag provider is SBI Bank, then one must head to SBI’s FASTag portal. Proceed to login with linked mobile number and password to view the balance.
