FASTag is an electronic toll collection system in India, operated by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). It is a device that employs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology that allows toll payments to be deducted directly from the prepaid account linked to it. So, instead of paying in cash at toll plazas, you automatically pay through your linked account.
The mobile number linked to FASTag is important as you receive notifications about the toll transactions and balance information. When you change your mobile number, you'll want to update this information in your FASTag account. Here, you can get information on how to change phone number in FASTag.
