“FAS-Tag is an electronic toll collection system introduced in India to facilitate seamless and cashless payments at toll plazas. A FAS-Tag card is a small, rectangular-shaped device that is affixed to the windshield of a vehicle. It contains a microchip and an antenna that utilize Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The physical appearance of a FAS-Tag card can vary slightly depending on the issuing authority, but typically it is a rectangular sticker or tag with dimensions around 10 cm x 5 cm. The card is usually made of durable material to withstand outdoor conditions. The front side of the FAS-Tag card typically displays the logo or name of the issuing authority or bank. It may also include the FAS-Tag logo or a unique identification number associated with the card. Some cards may have a barcode or QR code for additional identification purposes. The back side of the FAS-Tag card generally contains adhesive material to facilitate easy affixing on the vehicle’s windshield. It may also display important information such as the contact details of the issuing authority, customer service numbers, or instructions for card activation and usage. Inside the card, there is a small RFID chip that stores information related to the vehicle and the linked prepaid account. This chip communicates wirelessly with the RFID readers installed at toll plazas, allowing for automatic deduction of toll charges as the vehicle passes through. FAS-Tag cards are associated with a prepaid account, which can be managed and recharged through various online and offline channels such as bank websites, mobile apps, and authorized outlets. The account balance is debited whenever the FAS-Tag card is used for toll payments.
Purpose: FAS-Tag cards are used for seamless and cashless toll payments on national highways in India.
Affixing the Card: The FAS-Tag card is affixed to the front windshield of the vehicle, typically on the top center or left side.
RFID Technology: The card contains a small RFID chip that stores the vehicle and account details. This chip is read by the toll plaza’s RFID reader when the vehicle approaches the toll booth.
Prepaid Account: FAS-Tag cards need to be linked to a prepaid account, which is usually managed by banks or payment aggregators. The account needs to be loaded with sufficient funds to cover the toll charges.
Recharge Options: FAS-Tag accounts can be recharged using various methods such as online banking, mobile wallets, UPI, or at authorized banks or outlets.
