| ![]() Thank you guys, for a quick response. I have applied for a tag through HDFC but it shows delivery time of 7 days. Also Mumbai does not have any NHAI toll to physically get a tag, so fingers crossed. |

| ![]() I had applied for a Airtel Fastag. It’s almost been a month since I ordered it. All I get is a notification saying it has been dispatched. No tracking number or any further information. Upon repeated complain registration, (almost everyday since the given delivery deadline) an Airtel representative finally called and gave me a tracking number with DTDC. DTDC guys responded by saying no such courier has been booked from Airtel as such! And after registering complains over again I’m yet to get a response from Airtel. Should I try out any other method or just consider this a gone case? So much for Airtel advertising that they won’t give up until all the complaints are responded with. I believe I myself have registered about 20 complains on the same issue, yet to get a solution! |

Also, you have an option to buy it directly from most of the toll plazas. (If you are not averse to that idea) | |

| ![]() Experience with ICICI fastag 1) Applied online via their portal. No updates for a week, so called the customer care. CC tells me the vehicle number entered is not matching with RC and I need to re-upload an RC matching the number I entered in the application. My car number is two digit, so I entered in the application KA 04 XX NN instead of KA 04 XX 00NN. I dont have an option to edit the application now, portal only allows reuploading RC. I tried telling them that I can't upload an RC matching the number I entered because I entered it wrong. Only option is to let me edit the application to match the number in the RC or they correct the application. No luck after creating multiple complaints and tweeting to ICICI. 2) I went to ICICI fastag office in cochin and asked them to provide me a solution. Also asked them to give me a fastag for my another vehicle. They asked me to pay 500+500 for two fastags and promised to return 500 via google pay if they can fix the earlier application which was applied online. They gave me two fastags and activated the very next day. But it was activated with new customer ID and account. So my original application was still pending for RC verification. 3) Luckily I got the contact from the ICICI fastag team in cochin who understands my problem and he is trying to cancel the online application and refund then money. So I am hopeful. 4) Charging and using the fastag was seamless. Moral of the story. It is faster and hassle free to get fastag offline (if you have a POS in your area) |

| ![]() Thanks to the pandemic i havent been able to come to mumbai and use my MEP sticker. Now it shows a balance of 650/- any idea if this is valid or its gone and i should peel the MEP sticker from the windscreen or is there a way to transfer the funds from MEP to fastag and then i should peel off the MEP ? Appreciate any solutions. Thanks |

| ![]() Might be a noob question, but is it compulsory to stick the Fastag Sticker on the windshield? Can I just paste it on a piece of paper/plastic and show it at the hand held scanner on the highway tolls? This is because I don't need to pay toll at some toll plazas. |

Thank you arun_josie. Any work-around to cover the Tag temporarily so that it isn't read by the scanner at certain tolls? |

Pretty much every toll booth has an exemption for residents within a certain radius; this is how it is implemented. | |
