SBI FASTag Recharge
SBI FASTag Recharge, Application Process, Fees, and Fastag FAQs
What is SBI FASTag?
SBI FASTag is a 10x5 cm compact reloadable card that automatically deducts toll charges while driving through toll plazas. It is a quick, hassle-free, electronic toll payment system to facilitate cashless transactions and keep the toll plazas decongested.
How does SBI FASTag work?
SBI FASTags are linked to the customer's prepaid accounts/savings account. The rectangular tags contain a chip and antenna inside multiple layers of high-quality paper. After activation, the card is affixed to the vehicle's windscreen. The tag readers at the toll plazas use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to process the information contained in the tag. When the vehicle drives through the dedicated FASTag lanes at the toll plaza, their linked bank accounts/wallets are automatically debited with the applicable toll charges.
What are the features/benefits of SBI FASTags?
Cashless payment
SBI FASTag eliminates the need to carry cash for toll charges. The payments are auto-debited from the linked prepaid accounts on the go. Also, the tags are interoperable. The same RFID tag is functional at multiple toll plazas. Currently, SBI FASTags work at 346 plus toll plazas across national highways in India. Under the NETC program, there are plans to add more toll plazas to the list.
