Paytm FASTag
The FASTag service is a cashless system that collects toll taxes electronically at toll plazas around the country. The NHAI collects them automatically with FASTag, which uses RFID technology and eliminates the need for the vehicle to stop at the toll booth; when four-wheelers approach the toll plaza/booth, FASTag assists in the automatic detection of the vehicles.
The user's prepaid account, a Paytm wallet, is linked to the FASTag, which is then attached to their vehicle's windscreen. FASATag assists in the automatic deduction of toll tax as the user goes through the toll gate.
