| ![]() Why should the functioning differ for a FASTag that employs the same RFID technology but provided by different banks. It should work just like any other. Just to reiterate this, I am again quoting few members who have on earlier occasions mentioned that FASTag works without issues when stuck behind Sun films (CR70 and likes) on their front windscreens! Few instances below: Quote:

Ceramic material and Sun film do not block RFID. However, some windshields have metallised coatings or invisible coils (for heating/insulation, antennas, HUD etc) that foul with RF signals, and the tag, if pasted inside, will not work. The only solution in such cases is to paste the tag outside. I'm yet to see such a feature-rich windshield in a car that costs less than ~30L, so unless it's a big marque, the windshield will be the least of your worries.

My fastag pasted under the Garware windshield film did not work from day 1. Every time the handheld scanner was required. It too detected after 2-3 attempts,sometimes from inside the car. The car is XUV 500 btw. Planning to cut the sunfilm and order a new tag. Its an ICICI tag. | |

| ![]() I had pasted the FASTag first & then applied the 3M CR70 film. Totally by-passed any such scanner related issue. The water around the FASTag area evaporated eventually. Works like a charm. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() During my drive last week from Kolkata to Bangalore, I was pleasantly surprised that literally each and every toll plaza enroute accepted Fastag ![]() However the catch was that till after Vijawada there were no specific lanes for fastag so you had to wait behind cars paying cash, the only advantage being it was cashless. |

I have exactly the same problem, I travelled from Hubli to Bangalore on May 27th, and my paytm wallet was debited again on 29th for the same transactions . How do i get the amount refunded. Any ideas ? Paytm customer care is not familiar with the refund process. |

| ![]() Guys, if you have problems in Paytm fastag, raise a ticket in the Paytm app via 24×7 help option. You will get a ticket number and then call them persistently for a week. You will get refund after a week or 15 days. I got my cash back after 15 or 20 days. This cash back is added to the reserved amount in fastag not Paytm wallet.

| ![]() It was quite surprising to know that both the tolls, on the Chennai to Pondicherry highway don't have Fasttag. The attendant said "nobody uses it, only cash!" Then I forced him to take my debit card ![]() Seems like the corporations that have constructed the roads don't want to share the profits ![]() |

Any automation in India, has invariably led to more accountability. And once that sets in, age old practices like fudging accounts etc. cannot be done easily. No fudged accounts, no slush funds hence no money to be siphoned off to shady characters. |

2. It is fine to paste it on either side of the windshield - contrary to Fastag advice - as I have tried it and it works fine as long as it is on the windshield. I have it on my Endeavour at top right on driver's side and I have figured that even the handheld scanners find it convenient as they are normally standing on the driver's side. Recently I did a long trip with 16 Fastag booths (both gantry mounted scanners and handheld scanners) and I had no issue at any. By the way I also have a A 119 dashcam mounted exactly in the center. Just like yours. Hope this helps. | |
