They say, ‘Once you get wanderlust in your blood, you get it for life’. If you are an explorer who needs a road trip every now and then, you must know that the easiest way to zip through tolls is via FASTag.

Recently, Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry declared that from 15th February 2021, all the lanes of the toll plazas of national highways should be ‘FASTag Lanes’. Therefore, any vehicle, (both personal and commercial) that is not fitted with FASTag or doesn’t have a sufficient balance will have to pay double the fees while crossing a toll plaza.

8 Amazing Benefits of Paytm FASTag

1. Pay via Single Paytm Balance: You add money to the Paytm wallet and use it to pay utility bills, order food, shop online, etc. Likewise, you can use the wallet for all your toll-related transactions without any separate FASTag recharge that can block your money
2. Easy to track: You can easily view detailed transaction history of all your vehicles at one place in the Paytm app
3. No KYC/Bank Account Linkage Needed: You can avail your Paytm FASTag in minutes by just uploading a copy of your RC on the app. Also, no KYC or bank account linkage is required for tag issuance

4. Protection against incorrect toll deduction: Your vehicle may get misidentified at the toll plaza or the tag may get scanned twice. That’s why, Paytm Payments Bank has a completely automated and meticulous dispute resolution system that helps you to reverse the extra charges paid by you
5. No hidden charges: There is absolutely no charge for either adding money to the wallet or any transaction at the toll plaza
6. Cashback and other attractive offers: We offer attractive cashback from time to time, along with other exciting offers that you can select while purchasing the FASTag. Do keep an eye out for such amazing offers

7. No shipping charges: We deliver pre-activated FASTag to your doorstep without any shipping charges. Just stick it to the front of your car and be ready to zip through tolls
8. SMS & Email alerts: You receive SMS and email alerts for every toll transaction you make and it helps you to keep track
