What are the documents required to apply for a FASTag?
Posted on Saturday, May 14th, 2022 | By IndusInd Bank
The Government of India made it mandatory for most vehicles to have a FASTag in order to make toll payments on state and national highways faster. This also solved problems like traffic and pollution around toll plazas. Today, if you don’t have a FASTag, you end up paying double the toll amount as compared to what you would pay if you did have one.
But what exactly is a FASTag? How do you apply for one and what documents would you require? We decipher all these questions in this article.
What is a FASTag?
FASTag is a way for you to pay toll at toll plazas across National and State highways completely electronically and automatically. It is essentially a sticker that is placed on the front windshield of your vehicle that uses RFID technology to communicate with toll plazas, when you cross one. Your FASTag is linked to a bank account or a prepaid wallet and when you cross a toll plaza, the required toll amount is automatically deducted from this linked account, eliminating the need to use cash for toll payments.
Also, since the entire process happens automatically, it reduces the wait time for each vehicle, solving problems such as pollution and long queues of traffic.
How to apply for a FASTag?
FASTags are made available by most major banks, digital wallets, and point of sale systems at most major toll plazas. You can apply for a FASTag through the IndusInd Bank as follows:
- Visit the FASTag page on the IndusInd Bank website here.
- Click on ‘Apply Now’.
- Fill in the required details such as your personal information and your vehicle information.
- Upload the required documents and pay the requisite amount. For VC4 category vehicles, a nominal fee of Rs. 100 is charged per FASTag.
- Once everything checks out, the FASTag is delivered to your home in no time.
What are the documents required to apply for a FASTag?
When applying for a FASTag, you will be required to prove your identity and the fact that you are the owner of the vehicle for which you are applying for a FASTag. Here are the documents that you will be required to furnish:
- Registration certification (RC) of the vehicle
- Passport size photograph of the vehicle owner
- ID proof and Address proof – the applicant’s driver’s license would suffice as both the ID and the address proof. Other valid ids include PAN card, Aadhar card, Passport and Voter ID card.
