HDFC FASTag is a contactless toll collecting system. It is a small reloadable card that allows for automated toll deduction from your HDFC bank account associated with the FASTag as one passes through toll booths on the national highways. The HDFC bank FASTag digital service allows for cashless payment, online account checking, and many more services.
How does HDFC FASTag function?
- The HDFC FASTag is linked with the user's prepaid account.
