FASTag Recharge through BHIM UPI

FASTag is a sticker that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to enable electronic toll payments at the national highways. It is affixed on the vehicle’s windscreen and the scanner present at the toll plaza scans the tag as the vehicle passes. The toll amount gets automatically deducted from the prepaid linked wallet or bank account.

If you are using a FASTag which is linked to a prepaid wallet, you need to recharge it as and when required to make hassle-free toll payments.

One of the ways to recharge the prepaid wallet is through BHIM UPI.
