How to make FASTag purchase and get recharge done online
FASTag is an easy-to-use tag which helps in facilitating the mechanization of toll booth payments, thus saving you from the hassles of waiting in line for paying the toll booth fees in cash. Now, you don’t have to get irritated by the person ahead of you or wait in long queues for the person to pay their toll charges.
How FASTag gets linked to Your Vehicle?
Below is a simple way on how you can get your FASTag linked to your vehicle
- Remove the adhesive liner that is present on the front face of your FASTag
- Now stick your FASTag at the top middle of your windshield from inside of your car
- Put it just below your rearview mirror
- Make sure that you don’t stick it to anyplace near your car’s default RFID
- If the adhesive glue isn’t that strong enough to hold, don’t use any tape, fevicol or other adhesives. Just go for a replacement instead.
- Once you have fixed it on your car, do not try to reposition it as can damage your RFID
