How to Recharge FASTag Using PhonePe, Google Pay, BHIM: Step By Step Guide

FASTag, which offers the convenience of cashless payment along with benefits like - savings on fuel and time as the customer does not has to stop at the toll plaza, is available free of cost until February 29. If you are yet to purchase FASTag, then apply for it now. FASTags are being issued by 22 certified banks including Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC, SBI, Yes Bank, IndusInd Bank, Yes Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bank Of Baroda, and others. FASTags can also be availed by various channels such as Point-of-Sale (POS) at National Highway toll plazas. Interestingly, FASTags are also available on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.
