BHPian ![]() | ![]() They don't send the tag by post, usually. But an executive assigned to your case should drop-by in person to collect documents + cheque and then deliver/ stick the Fastag within 2-3 days. |

| ![]() I got a call from ICICI Fast Tag personnel from 080 66302389 and he asked me for my location. I asked him if I can send it through post and he said I can scan the documents and send through mail and make payment online and he will take care of the rest. I have sent him the details and have also transferred Rs.500 to the ICICI ETC account in Mumbai that they provided. Now, I will wait to see what happens and how long it takes. I have no real need for the tag as I have no travel plans for now, but I just wanted to have it for any future need, so time is not a constraint for me. |

| ![]() Ha ha. Depends on the agent. A large number of private agents are happy to collect whatsapped copies of your documentation and courier you the fastag, along with instructions on how to paste the fastag sticker. See my experience a few pages before on this thread. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Not sure if it's a good or bad move. On one hand it should stop the complaints about Fastag lane being slow compared to cash lanes. However, it also ends the exclusive lane concept, meaning only advantage you have on taking Fastag is non cash transaction. So unless majority of vehicles adopt to Fastag, you won't find any difference in time consumed at toll. Link Quote:

More people will move to Fastag only if it is projected as a convenient & cheaper alternative to cash payment. | |

One more thing I can see is, if all lanes are enabled with fastag, what if the adjacent reader reads your fastag, and your lane also reads it? They will need to control multiple readings within the space of 10-15 minutes | |

| ![]() After lot of deliberation and another Kerala trip coming up this month, I finally decided to procure Fastag. Went to the BETL office in ECity and got the tag in one day. Gave the documents and fees on Thursday evening (16:00h) and got the tag now (Friday 15:30h). The attached bank is IDFC. Will be using it for the first time during my journey to Guruvayoor in couple of weeks' time. |

With volume of cash transactions dropping, eventually I hope there will be more fastag adoption so it makes sense to have more or all lanes capable of accepting fastag. At the other end of the spectrum, this would make effective use of all lanes by not exclusively blocking one lane for fastag users as it could be underused on certain days and as we've seen it needs a security guard/attendant with hand held scanners too sometimes which are overheads and could slow down the process. I've been saying this for sometime now that all lanes should be fastag enabled, wish it comes into effect soon. Last edited by NPV : 9th June 2017 at 19:21. | |

Here in US, they have 2 lanes for RFID's and 2 for cash payers. I think having even number of lanes for RFID and cash will be the most viable solution. Also, IMO they should replace the tag readers with a bigger dimension so that the tags are read faster and no manual intervention will be needed. | |

| ![]() Loaded the cash today using Netbanking. Their credit card payment interface was not working. Now, the tag status is changed from "hotlisted" to "active". |

![]() And this is what NHAI advertised when they introduced Fastag "Fastag enables you to drive through toll plazas, without stopping for cash transactions". 2 years have past and this tagline is still a dream for Fastag users. | |
