Ever since it has been mandated, the FASTag has become an extremely important thing to have. Whether you own a car or a truck you must necessarily have the FASTag installed on your four-wheeler to be able to cross the toll plazas across the Indian National Highways. If you don’t have a FASTag on your private or commercial vehicle, you will have to pay twice the toll tax amount at every toll booth that you cross during your interstate travel.
You must note that simply buying a FASTag and sticking it on your vehicle is not enough. You should also know about how to activate and recharge it. While Paytm offers a FASTag that can be used for multiple services, such as making payments at fuel stations, shopping online, making bill payments, etc., it also allows its users to recharge their FASTag issued by other banks in a few, simple steps.
