It uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) </em><em>technology to make cashless payments through a prepaid account linked to it. On 19 October </em><em>2019, it was announced that FASTag will be mandatory on all National Highways from 1 </em><em>December 2019. You can also buy FASTag by visiting the nearest certified bank branch and </em><em>get the FASTag linked with your existing bank accounts by using the My FASTag mobile app. </em><em>Instead of a bank account, a prepaid wallet can be easily used for loading and deducting </em><em>money. This wallet is created by NHAI (National Highway Authority of India) and is available </em><em>in this app. In this article, I found that FASTag increases the speed and efficiency of </em><em>transportation system. It truly means FASTag – making the movement barrier free and fast.</em></p> ER -
