National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Indian Highways Management Company Ltd (IHMCL) have launched the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) system which would help the Vehicles with a FASTag (RFID) tag to cruise through the Toll gates. South Indian Bank in association with National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) have partnered with the project for the issuance of FASTag for Vehicles.
South Indian Bank is a financial institution based in India. FASTag is a new generation of contactless toll collecting. It is a reloadable card that allows toll costs to be deducted automatically when driving through toll plazas. FASTag allows for cashless purchases and helps to keep toll plazas clear.
Customers’ prepaid accounts/e-wallets are connected to South Indian Bank FASTags. The card is then attached to the vehicle’s windscreen when it has been activated. The information from the tag is read by tag readers at toll plazas using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The associated prepaid accounts/e-wallets are immediately deducted with the relevant toll costs when the vehicle travels through the designated FASTag lanes at the toll plaza.
Charges & Validity of FASTag
Issuance charges of the South Indian Bank tag are INR100, across all vehicle categories, inclusive of all applicable taxes. Other Charges are as follows:
| Vehicle Class | SECURITY DEPOSIT* IN INR | THRESHOLD AMOUNT IN INR |
