How to recharge FASTag?

FASTag recharge using Paytm

Paytm is one of the options that can be used for registering and activating FASTag, where one need not create a separate wallet for the recharge. To recharge your FASTag account using Paytm, all you need to do is recharge your Paytm wallet which has already been registered with your FASTag account. Paytm will then keep a small amount of the wallet balance reserved for FASTag payments. Thus, there is no extra hassle of maintaining a separate account when you opt for FASTag recharge using Paytm.

The FASTag RFID is affixed to the windshield of your car, which allows you to move through the toll plazas while the payment is deducted automatically through the account linked with FASTag. At the time of writing, FASTag payments are accepted at 326+ toll plazas across the country.
