| ![]() My paytm Fastag has been blacklisted for sometime inspite of balance in the wallet, I have complained to paytm helpline several times but no luck. How else can one get the blacklist out? |

| ![]() Do you remember not using Fastag for say 1 year? I saw a post on Facebook where one member of a travel related group had posted a screenshot of a SMS by his Fastag provider that his Fastag has been deactivated as per Govt. guidelines regarding non use of the tag for 1 year. So, apparently, you are supposed to drive on the highway and use the tag periodically as per that information.

![]() But since others might find this useful, posting it on this thread too. I checked the car's manual and it says there is a heat-reflecting film (IR) which is an option/accessory. Picture attached. Maybe that's why it is not affecting all the Volvos, but only some. The manual also says there is a non-IR covered strip on the top of the windshield. I checked that from the inside of the car, and you can clearly see a line on top. It runs across the top of the whole windshield. Picture attached. You will note my FASTag is below that line. So guess I will have get a new one and stick it above that line. ![]() | ||||

| ![]() I don't stick the tag directly on the windshield. I paste it on a thick transparent plastic sheet (taken from either a transparent file folder or any packing box made of hard transparent sheet) and cut it to size to make it look like a laminated ID card and then use this card as needed. Why do I go through all this trouble? It is an old habit of refusing to pollute my car's windshield with member/resident/employee stickers. As a bonus, it allows you to reposition the tag or buy another tag from a different provider if need. |

| ![]() Is there any difference between blacklisted fastag and low balance fastag? Does blacklisted fastag work automatically if amount is loaded or should I contact support team to get it to active state? Yesterday, my fastag balance went down to 86.00 Rs and i got message stating "your fastag has low balance" I don't have any plans to go long trip for next two months. Should i load more money now or can I ignore now and load when it is needed after 2 months? Last edited by gkveda : 24th January 2021 at 11:09. |

Blacklist - of tags themselves, or attached to vehicles that are reported stolen - is one such exception list. Low Balance List - of tags whose balance is "low" as reported by the issuing bank - is another such exception list. Other defined exception lists are: List of vehicles exempted from paying tolls (VIP vehicles, emergency services...) "Hotlist" - which is not specifically defined. Looks identical to Exempted list, but can be populated only by the tag issuer. Tags enter Low Balance List when the balance drops below a threshold, and automatically exit when the balance goes above it. Nowadays I recharge only just as much money needed to complete my immediate trip (once had to recharge on the wayside because I calculated wrongly). Otherwise my balance stays in the < Rs. 50 range (plus the security deposit). | |

Have highlighted the keywords. I think just like Bank accounts, which become dormant if unused for 12 months, every wallet has to follow a similar rule under RBI I suppose. All we may need to do is bump up the wallet by adding a few rupees I guess. There is no compulsion to drive on the highway here. | |

However, my tag was blacklisted next day morning. The booths operate based on tag status and not on the balance on the tag. So there may be a delay in updating the tag status as the amount goes low. This delay could be in hours. Quote:
You can load minimum about for any contingency. I too did not recharge the tag for long time and totally forgotten only to find the tag was in blacklist at E-city toll. Luckily there was no crowd and I could continue using the same lane after paying cash (not double amount). | ||

| ![]() Friends, looking for help. I got the fastag from HDFC back in 2018 December and have been using it since then with no glitches. I had submitted all the documents as needed at that point. Now, last month(Dec 2020), i was trying to recharge my fastag and i saw a message stating that my account has been freezed due to lack of KYC". i have called the hdfc helpline multiple times since then and every time, they say that it will take 15 working days. its been a month now :( . I have also sent them all the KYC documents again via email on 7th Jan but there hasnt even been an acknowledgement from them(let alone a resolution). Anyone had similar experience and could share what can i do differently here for faster resolution? Thanks! |
