| ![]() Had been to Kolli Hills yesterday from Bangalore via Hosur. The Fastag worked fine on the onward journey but during the last few tolls of the return journey the Axis Fastag was shown as Blacklisted in the toll display. I suspected low balance and checked the last deduction message and it had Rs.142 balance but the toll wouldn't deduct from that. The toll amounts were well under Rs.100 in each case but I had to pay cash as the first operator had no clue and the 2nd operator said that there isn't sufficient balance. Finally I recharged for Rs.1000 during our Dinner stop and the updated balance became Rs.1142 and the tag started working fine from the next toll onward. So I guess this was some temporary issue or Axis Fastag needs Rs.100 as minimum balance or so. In any case it was disappointing since I had to pay extra for single journey which would've been a return journey deduction from Fastag if it worked fine. ![]() Last edited by khan_sultan : 15th October 2019 at 10:15.

| ![]() Hi All, According to mails being sent by ICICI, the government is going to make FasTag mandatory at all Toll plazas. Does that mean Airoli and Vashi tolls will move away from MEP ETC Tags to FasTags? |

| ![]() Yes. As per today's news, all state/city (Mumbai Sea link, Vashi, Airoli, etc.) toll plazas have to move to Fastag. The deadline for them is 31st March 2020 while for other national highways it is 31st December 2019. From the next day after these deadlines, one has to pay 2x the toll if paying in cash. |

| ![]() I have a HDFC Fastag. I am using it for last 3 years without major problem. At present it has a balance amount of Rs.1000. Now I am planning to sell my car. Please suggest me what to do? I am a novice. |

| ![]() I am seeing all NH toll lanes being Fastagged over the last few months, even tolls like Nallur, Paranur that never had Fastag historically, now have them! That too with fix scanners As of August, Trichy-Madurai and Madurai-Tirunelveli were the ones that had (jugaad) hand scanners. Quote:

| ![]() Applied for ICICI FASTag on Oct 06, received it on Oct 14. According to the video below (which at least seems to be made by some official agency), the FASTag is supposed to be stuck in line with the IRVM, but slightly to its right (as seen from outside). However, most videos/articles recommend sticking it exactly in the centre. Which one is correct? Or it doesn't really matter? ![]() Cheers, Vikram |

Few would agree, few would not but my own experience so far with the placement next to IRVM on the left (when facing car from outside)has been positive when it comes to reading the tag. Most of us paste it on the left of the IRVM (when facing car from outside) so that at times it will also enable the Toll booth operator to just stretch his hands out and scan the tag using a hand held device rather then get down, walk towards the co-passenger side of the car and then scan it. Quoting my post again: Quote:

Infractions: 0/2 (10) | ![]() The money is in your account with HDFC, and I guess, there is no need to think of the FasTag as a prepaid SIM, at least from this pov. Worst case is, you close your existing FasTag linked a/c and open a fresh one for your new car / tag. Ideally, (my opinion) all your tags should work from a single account. |

| ![]() HDFC. And there was a shocker for me today. Turns out they NEVER returned the money, just transferred 500 from my HDFC account to my tag account. I'm surprised they can do that without any sort of approval. it's INSANE! |

Tag. No. 1: [Cust. ID: 1140XXXX] The account got activated only after my nudging over phone call on 12th. After this the Tag number was not allotted until my phone call again to their call centre on 15th and waiting for it's shipment from then onwards until now. Tag No. 2: [Cust. ID: 1141XXXX] Applied for another vehicle on 15th. The Fastag account itself is yet to be activated until now, inspite of my call on 16th. From the Customer ID's of these two tags, it appears they have received application for 10000 vehicles in a week's time. The turnaround time for issuing a tag is likely to get worsen as we approach the Dec 1st deadline. This may be the case with all Fastag issuers. | |

| ![]() Update on my Paytm fastag experience. It's been fantastic. Liked it so much that I got it for my second car too. General tip for people looking to get fastag. Approach your known dealership and ask them for it. I got it from tata dealership. It was installed and activated at the same time within 10 minutes. 500 Rs paid. 250 is deposit. 100 is the fee they charge. 150 goes in fastag wallet. At every fastag transaction money gets deducted from paytm wallet. No hassle of transferring money into account. The only gripe is the sms for deduction sometimes comes instantly and sometimes only when i log into paytm account. |
