Paytm Fastag Charges
Paytm Fastag:
Before knowing the Paytm Fastag Charges, lets understand about the Paytm Fastag. Paytm FASTag is an electronic device issued by Paytm under NETC program run by NPCI according to NHAI and IHMCL recommendations. This toll tag enabled with RFID technology allows for automatic deduction of toll charges at National Highways toll plazas. A vehicle affixed to a Paytm FASTag can traverse any toll collection booth without stopping to pay the toll fee in cash. It can be used across the country at over 600 toll plazas on National Highways.
How Paytm Fastag Works?
Paytm FASTag operates using Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology. By paying Rs.500, you can buy it online through the Paytm website or the app. The FASTag will take 24 to 48 business hours to get activated after it is released. It will be connected to your account at Paytm Payments Bank and to Paytm Wallet. After activation, the tag will be mounted on the windscreen of your car.
As soon as you approach a National Highways toll collection booth, the RFID readers installed at the booth will scan the information available in the tag. The applicable toll amount will automatically be debited from your Paytm wallet upon successful reading of the tag. Once the balance is debited automatically, a transaction SMS will be sent to your registered mobile number. The boom barrier will then open automatically, and you can drive through the toll plaza without stopping the vehicle.
