FASTag is an online toll payment system used to levy toll charges in India. RFID or Radio-Frequency IDentification is used in this system. When you pass through a toll plaza, you don’t have to wait in line. The toll plaza employees will read the tag and deduct the charge applicable.

FASTag has a number of advantages. It is time-saving, easy to use and a convenient option.

Also, consider getting valid motor insurance as it is mandatory per the law.
