SBI Introduces new FASTag design to reduce toll wait times

SBI FASTag is a gadget that uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to make toll payments straight from the prepaid or savings account associated with it.

It is installed on the vehicle’s windscreen, allowing drivers to cross toll plazas without stopping for cash transactions.

The tag can be acquired from tag issuers, and if tied to a prepaid account, it must be recharged or topped up as needed.

SBI has said that the new FASTag design is intended solely for Vehicle Class 4 (jeeps, cars, and vans).

This revised design intends to improve vehicle recognition and speed the toll collection process, lowering commuter travel time. 

The new tag has been accessible since August 30. With proper recognition of these tags, toll staff can take instant action against the wrong class of vehicles.
