| ![]() I have been using it for three years now and did not face problem with the location. But please note that my vehicle is TUV300 and height is more than many other vehicles. In few occasions toll plaza guys had to hand scan but I think problem was with their sensor. I would suggest to put FASTag temporarily with adhesive tape and test few times, if it works at toll plazas then put it permanently on that location. |

I guess now we have to pay Rs 40 per crossing now. Quote:
If you have one ICICI Fastag Account and have multiple Fastags issued to that account since you have multiple vehicles, all you have to do is top up your CUG wallet by say Rs 10,000 and then transfer desired amount from your CUG wallet to the tag you wish to top up. For most of us who have only one vehicle with a Fastag from a certain provider, we top up the CUG and transfer the amount to the Tag wallet. Check out this link - CUG & Tag wallet | ||

You do realize that number plates of every vehicle passing through the toll plazas are captured and recorded regardless of one uses Fastag or not right? What exactly are we avoiding by not using Fastag? | |

| ![]() Had a very heartening experience recently on my drive from Jaipur to Lucknow, so I thought will share it here. I was stuck on a toll plaza with some idiot arguing about having to pay 2x the toll because they had entered Fastag lane. Thankfully I had a little bit of space to manoeuvre the vehicle out of that lane to enter next one. I gestured towards and requested the truck driver next to me to let me enter the lane in front of him. He responded by asking if I had a fastag and promptly let me go ahead. I was delighted by the simple kindness and gesture. 2 take-aways: 1. The acceptance of the fastag in transport vehicles is actually quite good. Majority of long distance traffic I see now has Fastag. It's mostly local vehicles and idiots in cars that still resist and argue. Entitled lot. That's our issue. 2. I detest people jumping lanes, crowding mouths at lane-entry to destroy lane discipline. All you need is a gentle request, and if the inconvenience is minimum, even a truck-driver for whom the impact will be most, is happy to make a concession.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My PayTm FASTag, which have been working perfectly for the past couple of years, stopped working last month. Called PayTm and they said they will reset something and to try again. Didn't work so ordered a replacement. The new one was delivered in 3 days. But on the replacement, the adhesive is on the backside of the sticker so it has to be stuck to the windshield from the outside. I've not seen this before. Anyone else faced this? If stuck from the outside, anyone can remove and use it! |

| ![]() Amount credited to the source account after 5 months and Recovered from the Fastag account after 9 months I recharged Fastag of Axis bank through UPI of ICICI on 22nd Dec 2019. Although the transaction was successful, the amount (Rs 1000) was not credited to the Fastag account and finally it was credited to the Fastag account on 28th Dec 2019. After that until this September, since there was no necessity to use Fastag, I did not bother to check the account details. In September last week since I had to cross a recently commissioned Toll Plaza with Fastag, I casually checked the account and was shocked to find Rs 1000 debited from the Fastag account on 24th Sep ie.) after 9 months! The details in the Fastag Wallet statement reads like this. MDR/33671XXXX/Adjustment Entry/UPI-CRGB-RECOV/9356173XXXXX/22-DEC-19 17:15 Then upon checking my Bank statement, I found that the same amount was credited back to my Back account in the month of May '20. Wonder what they would have done if there was not sufficient amount in the Fastag account! So I decided to apply for a ICICI Fastag so that the Bank account & the Fastag account remains with ICICI and applied on 30th Sep and got it on yesterday 7th Oct. As far as functionality of Axis Bank's Fastag, I have not faced any issue in any of the Toll Plaza's in its usage for over a period of about 1.5 years. |

I have observed that the newer fastags come with an opaque paper backing on the sticky side and the non-sticky side looks like the front. The older tags used to come with clear backing. If you remove the opaque backing, you will see the actual front side of the tag. Technically, the fastag shouldn't have a front or back side and should get detected irrespective of the orientation. | |

| ![]() Cross posting from other fastag thread:: Guys, I am in a bit of dilema and need your help. My car has never been outside city limits (Mumbai). And now I have an inevitable trip coming up this weekend to Gujarat and due to the covid situation we would like to take our car. As I said my car has never been outside Mumbai, so never bothered to get a fasttag. Now will I be able to drive to Gujarat without a fastag ? Can I face any legal challenges? |

It took me less than 10min to buy and activate a Paytm fastag at Devanahalli (Bangalore) tollbooth which had sale counters by Paytm, Airtel and few other providers. I was asked for RC (for fastag) and DL (KYC to register for Paytm). Many NHAI tollbooths just outside the city have sale counters for buying and spot activation of fastags. You can drive down to the nearest tollbooth to get it done, or do this as part of your journey if you pass by these tollbooths during business hours. | |

I also did the same at my local SH tollbooth - they had a ICICI Bank chappie in residence who took end-to-end 10 minutes flat. Used the new tag at the same tollbooth within 15 minutes of activation, and enjoyed full access to my ICICI FT account within 30 minutes when I reached home. Kudos to MoRTH & ICICI bank both. Yet to add my 'local pass' exemptions on this tag - that bit needs a personal visit to each tollbooth where you seek the local pass from. I'd suggest Googling for the in-house agent numbers, speaking to him/her and then only making the trip. | |
