HDFC FASTag Recharge with and without Vehicle Number
FASTag, an electronic toll collection system introduced in 2014,
has become mandatory for four-wheeler vehicles in India (and
currently in some states, for two-wheelers too). The use of
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology enables
automatic toll payments under the National Electronic Toll
Collection (NETC) program. The system reduces traffic
congestion, minimises wait times, and promotes cashless
transactions on highways.
For a smooth travel experience, it’s important to know how to
keep your FASTag balance up to date. HDFC Bank offers quick and
hassle-free recharge services to ensure your FASTag is always
ready for use. This guide explores how to manage your HDFC
FASTag recharge and enjoy seamless journeys across India’s
highways.
