How to check the balance of the FASTag account online?

The Indian government has looked into modernization and is strengthening digitization programs across the country. FASTag is one such initiative that has been introduced in recent times to help the masses move easily on national highways. The Indian Ministry of Transport announced the mandatory use of FASTags for collecting tolls from public and commercial vehicles. The new toll system based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology was introduced in 2017.

The FASTag system has been installed at a number of toll stations in India. When a vehicle passes through an ETC (electronic toll collection) activated on national roads, the toll amount is directly deducted from the digital wallet associated with the vehicle. Paytm was the initial mode of registration for a new FASTag and for its recharge. If you are using the Paytm FASTag, you should know that you must maintain a minimum balance of Rs. 150 in your wallet to use the service without interruption.

It is always advisable to keep a check on the FASTag balance so that your account does not appear on the blacklist at a toll booth and you do not have to pay double the toll charges. So how can you keep an eye on balance? This article will help you follow the steps to check FASTag balance online. Looked:
