Customer can purchase FASTag for their vehicle from public and private sector banks and other retail outlets. This tag is linked to a pre-paid / wallet account and the funds are detected automatically when vehicle crosses the Toll. The pre-paid / wallet can be recharged at anytime through their service provider through various online methods such as Credit Cards, Debit Cards or Net Banking.
