Here's a thread on removing stickers http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...indshield.html and I thought that removal without damage would be a fairly straightforward process. I believe they use a paper sticker with plain glue on it. I'd prefer avoiding a new tag as it involves visiting the bank again. | |

| ![]() My fastag got damaged while removing it. One of my friend removed his fastag sticker without much damage, but it didn't work later. I think there is a small chip inside which gets damaged easily. So, not sure if soaking it in water will help. No harm in trying it though. |

| ![]() Considering the policy announcement i.e. "All NH toll plazas to have separate lane for FASTag vehicles from Sept 1", it does make sense to have one. Any suggestions on what could be the preferred option of procuring one in terms of time and paperwork? I could see that ICICI is one of the options. I was hoping that this option would be available in netbanking login but this is not the case. |

| ![]() Read this news article from NDTV Auto which mentions that fasttag would be sold online from today. People wanting to get one can check and make use of this facility. Quoting from the source : Quote:

| ![]() And I read elsewhere that the Govt intends to have at least one lane FASTag enabled? It only means the woes are going to increase as we need at least 3 lanes to cater to FASTag equipped vehicles once most will have access to it. Further to this, we also need a brilliant, flawless and efficient system to scan the tags and let them pass a booth automatically. Even with the current set-up, I have noticed umpteen cases where the automated scanner fails to recognise a tag and subsequently (and at times)even the manual scanner fails. Should I also say that the booth attendant at Hirisave once asked me to wipe the dust off the FASTag because it was not readable ![]() It will be chaotic the moment one vehicle fails to pass a booth while rest of them are kept waiting behind. In a nutshell - We need to upgrade the system to function more efficiently before we talk about making these tags available to users. We also know that Automated systems will also take away few headcounts manning the booth. I read PM last week from a member who drove to Pune that one of the booths (Bankapura) didn't have FASTag despite of having a lane (and it was functional before) and when he questioned the booth staff they replied that "FASTag is affecting our livelihood". Beat that!! While the idea and implementation of this project is commendable, it is the execution as on today which needs urgent attention. A majority of us are not really happy, as things remain very inconsistent. Last edited by paragsachania : 18th August 2017 at 10:04. |

I also read that the toll operators were not encouraging Fastag due to problems in the process. But considering that they can save the salary of a few toll operators on a monthly basis, I think that should be a worthy compensation to any delays in payment. The only problem is if the toll booth operator is indulging in any malpractice, which will have to be reduced with fastag. This would prevent them from encouraging the use of Fastag. | |

And interestingly, a lane they have marked as FASTag (I presume this as dedicated) is where all vehicles are allowed to pass, beating the whole purpose of having a dedicated lane. Quote:

And I have seen many cases where the booth operator hands over an existing receipt too. | |||

So, it is not actually an online purchase, but more a centralized place for enabling people to know the service providers and be directed to their respective applications. | |

| ![]() Here is another article. Quoting from the article "My FASTag is a customer mobile app, where highway users can purchase and recharge their FASTag and keep track of the electronic toll collection transactions. 'Another app — FASTag Partner — can be used by agencies, CSCs and vehicle dealers to upgrade the RFID tags attached in 74 lakh vehicles sold since 2013, to FASTags. There are six lakh tags in use currently. '' This would be a welcome move. The FASTAG could be attached to the cars original RFID. My FASTag is on the App store, while FASTag Partner is not. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/...cle9820779.ece |

| ![]() Please don't download the app in it's present version. It just redirects you to the fastag pages on websites of various banks. More importantly, it is not easy to uninstall it. There is a bug in it. So, beware. |

| ![]() The partner app is nowhere visible. And found a presentation on the apps (end of the page on the below link). the interesting part is the last few slides, that give some glimpse of how the partner app will be used to write 'new' fastag info on the OEM RFIDs already affixed on the car. But i am truly astonished by the poor quality of the consumer app as well as this presentation. it is full of grammatical errors. Not expected by this government. http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelea...x?relid=170054 |

| ![]() Looks like FasTag is now available on PayTM. This may also be better in the long run as PayTM may not charge any transaction fee for recharging. I have not personally tried it as I already have an ICICI FasTag. Maybe someone here could apply and share their experience. Quote: | |
