NETC and FASTag
The introduction of the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program, managed by the National Payments Corporation of India, has revolutionized the way we experience travel, especially on our highways. At the heart of this transformation is the FASTag, a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) device that simplifies toll payments, enhances fuel station transactions and even facilitates parking payments across the country.
Recognized as a Prepaid Payment Instrument in accordance with RBI guidelines, FASTag brings the advantages of cashless payments while saving valuable time and fuel.
