I recently purchased a Verna from Advaith Hyundai and they gave me an Axis Bank Fastag. I have a few queries: 1. Where have you stuck the Fastag? Could you post a picture of it, if that's ok? The dealer did not stick it for me and I haven't figured out what's the best place to put it on the Verna. 2. I got a message saying that my account is recharged with Rs. 200, just before delivery of the car. Can I start using it right away or is there any further activation required by contacting Axis Bank? Will really appreciate if you could help me out! ![]() | |

We have discussed about this very [best place to paste] nearly every month if you scroll back few pages. Quote:
I will give you a recent example of a friend's car that came with ICICI tag and has just 200 INR as balance and we headed towards Devanahalli on Sunday night. The Tag status was active and we could pass the toll in both directions but the text message on 'low balance' was imminent soon after we passed the booth in one direction. Bottom line: You can use the tag as long as its status is active and not blacklisted. Conversely , having sufficient balance will help you. So please recharge if you intend to use it for your highway drives any sooner. Last edited by paragsachania : 4th September 2018 at 12:13. | ||

| ![]() Thanks for the pic Mr. dailydriver. I got my ICICI Fastag yesterday and it is one of the slim ones. They have shipped with pre applied adhesive, I just have to remove the protective layer and I am good to go but I don't want to risk it so, I think I am going to follow your approach. The hiccup is, I already have my company's parking RFID where you already have your sticker. Could you please let me know if there is any other place where I can paste it without being hassled by the toll guys? Thanks! |

I was carrying another fasttag(of my Swift) in my handrest storage area, middle of the front seats which was closed, and hands were rested. Both my tags, one stuck on the windscreen, and the other tag in the storage area got deducted ![]() Lesson Learnt - Do not carry multiple tags with you in car, anywhere in car ![]() | |

| ![]() Yesterday during our return journey from Thirukadaiyur we were pleasantly surprised by how efficiently FasTag was implemented on NH79 to Salem. It took us less than a minute to pass both toll plazas we encountered. The systems were fully functional. Of course the traffic was sparse but unlike the tolls on Salem/Chennai-Bangalore highway, the FasTag lines aren't manned at all. Guess road discipline also plays a great role here. This is a far cry from Salem, Krishnagiri, Attibele tolls where the staff put up barricades to route vehicles to other lines when there was a pileup in the FasTag line. At Krishnagiri we had to move to hybrid line as the receiver stopped working and at Attibele there was about half kilometer long stagnation. So couldn't skim past the traffic to join FasTag line. Thankfully FasTag seems to have been installed on other lines too as the barrier detected my cars FasTag and my PayTM was deducted. |

| ![]() Thanks DD. Honestly, despite of information available in last few pages of this thread, we have repeated queries about the same topic - Where to paste the FASTag. Here's one that I had answered earlier that should also refresh the thread on the very query: Quote:

| ![]() ICICI Fastag users can now find their tag balance by using one of these methods: 1. SMS "ETCBAL KA01AB1234" (replace "KA01AB1234" with your vehicle number) to 5676766 2. Give a missed call to 8010928888 from your registered Mobile Number (linked to ICICI FasTag account) *Tried the SMS option today and works like a charm **Tried the missed call option and that I think is a better option for those with more than one tag since it sends back an SMS with the balances of all linked ICICI FasTags ![]() Last edited by NPV : 4th September 2018 at 18:53. |

The Axis bank FAQ mentions the Wallet id as 17 digit whereas it is 14 digit in my case ![]() Quote:
1. Others have answered, but you can still look at where the Advaith folks (Billekahalli, Bangalore) only affixed it. ![]() 2. Yes, you can start using it. Just to make sure before I started using it, I did call the Axis bank Fastag call center. You can also get your vehicle number linked to the Fastag account in case it is not done. | ||

| ![]() It is not really required to paste the fastag on the glass. If there are any apprehensions of sticking it to the sunfilm or worrying about replacing it along with windshield. It can also be attached via masking tape to the glass without removing the adhesive backing. I have been using the same and there are no issues. |
