Let's know everything about it-

Fastag is an electronic toll collection technique. It uses radio frequency identification (RFID). Fastag is a recharged prepaid tag that you have to place on the windshield of your vehicle from the inside.

How does FASTag work?

As soon as your vehicle reaches the toll plaza, the sensor on the toll plaza tracks the FastTag on the windscreen of your vehicle. After this, the fee levied on that toll plaza is deducted from your FastTag account. In this way, you are able to pay the fee without stopping at the toll plaza. This tag installed in the vehicle will start its work as soon as your prepaid account is activated. At the same time, when the amount of your Fastag account is exhausted, you will have to recharge it again.
