Toll collection has never been faster at National Highway toll plazas and FASTags are credited with making this a possibility. These stick-on tags are meant to be placed on the windshields of vehicles. Operating with the aid of RFID technology, each time a vehicle with a FASTag sticker crosses a toll booth, RFID sensors deduct toll charges from the account linked to the FASTag. Thus far the government has given certain banks the authority to issue these FASTags among which YES Bank is one.

FASTags allow vehicles to pass through toll plazas without having to stop thereby removing any wait time and reducing bottlenecks that used to be common occurrences at toll plazas. This held particularly true during peak hour traffic. As there are many advantages associated with their usage, the government has made FASTags mandatory as of February 2021. This applies to all vehicles barring two-wheelers. If you haven’t already purchased a FASTag and own a vehicle that requires a FASTag, you should consider purchasing one now. Else, if you already have a FASTag and wish to add funds to it, consider using the Bajaj Markets application on your smartphone to add money to your FASTag wallet.
Credit card payments can be made to add funds to your FASTag account. These payments can be made on the official YES Bank website.
