A FASTag is a reloadable passive tag that can be attached to your vehicle and is linked to an automatic toll collection system run by the National Highway Authority of India. FASTags have made commuting faster and much more convenient, and a number of banks across India have joined the initiative.
Among the multitude of banks across India that have tied up with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to facilitate the programme, the Bank of Maharashtra has also joined their ranks. Thanks to the Bank of Maharashtra FASTag service, as you zip through a toll plaza, the Bank of Maharashtra FASTag will be scanned and the toll charge will be deducted directly from your linked bank account. With the aid of the Mahabank FASTag, you can now skip traffic jams at toll plazas, and enjoy your journeys without a worry. Read on to know more about how the BoM FASTag operates.
