How does an ICICI FASTag work?

The Ministry of Road Transportation and Highways made it mandatory to attach FASTag to every vehicle starting February 15, 2021. ICICI Bank FASTag helps you avoid long lines at the toll. When you arrive at the toll plaza, a machine scans your tag, deducts payment, and receives a notification on your phone.

Standing Instructions are now available for ICICI FASTag.

You may be charged twice if you pass the toll with insufficient funds in your account. Standing Instructions are available through ICICI Bank's Internet Banking. This is the first-of-its-kind solution offered by a financial institution. No need to set multiple recharge reminders because the account will be recharged when the FASTag balance falls below the threshold. ICICI FASTag recharges its customers to enjoy their trip without worry.

The advantages of establishing Standing Instructions (SI):

• A simple and quick one-time setup
• Avoid double toll charges at toll plazas due to insufficient funds.
• There is no need to recharge your FASTag Account manually.
• Safe and secure online recharge method available
• Remove the Standing Instructions anytime in the future.

Is it true that FASTags have an expiration date, and where can I find it?

FASTags has a 5-year fixed validity period from the date of issuance. However, this may differ in the case of NHAI-approved bank-specific tags. You might have received credentials to log in to the bank's FASTag portal or mobile app if you obtained your FASTag online from a bank. Log into your FASTag Account with these credentials and look for the "User Information" or "Account Details" option. When you select the option, you will reach a page with information such as "FASTag Issuance Date," "Expiry," "FASTag Status," and more.
