How to Seamlessly Transfer Your FASTag Account Between Banks

Understanding FASTag

FASTag simplifies toll tax payments significantly, especially for four-wheeled vehicles. Previously, drivers had to wait in long lines to pay tolls, but with the advent of technology, FASTag allows users to complete transactions in mere seconds. If you're considering transferring your FASTag from one bank to another, this guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

What is FASTag?

FASTag is a sticker embedded with RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology, enabling automatic cashless toll payments on Indian highways. If you frequently drive on highways, you likely already use a FASTag linked to a prepaid wallet from a registered bank.

Reasons for Transferring FASTag

There are various reasons you might want to transfer your FASTag account to a different bank, such as dissatisfaction with the services provided by your current bank.

Steps to Transfer Your FASTag Account Online

1. First, visit the official website of the bank to which you wish to transfer your FASTag. Look for the option to 'Manage FASTag' or 'Close FASTag' and submit a closure request. Note that any remaining balance will be refunded within a few days after closure. 2. Next, you will need to purchase a new FASTag from the bank you are transferring to. Go to their website or app and upload your vehicle's registration certificate, ID proof, and a passport-sized photo. Once payment is made, a new FASTag will be issued to you. 3. To activate your new FASTag, visit the app or web portal and enable the tag. After that, recharge the balance and affix it properly to your car's windshield.
