SBI FASTag Agent Tutorials
SBI FASTag :
SBI FASTag is a device that employs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for making toll payments directly from the prepaid or savings account linked to it.
It is affixed on the windscreen of your vehicle and enables you to drive through toll plazas, without stopping for cash transactions.
The tag can be purchased from Tag issuers and if it is linked to the prepaid account, then you need to recharge/ top up the tag as per your requirement.
It is a 10x 5 cm, rectangle shape, multi layered tag, which is made out of good quality paper, containing chip and antenna inside its layers, it is pasted on the wind screen of the vehicle, and through Radio frequency identification method, the information is read at the toll plaza from the tag.
Tag provides you with the convenience and ease during transit through the toll plaza along with saving time, fuel and money. SBI FASTag is presently operational at 346+ toll plazas across National Highways.
The system is inter-operable and the same SBI FASTag can be used across all toll plazas under the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program. More toll plazas will be brought under the NETC program in the future. Please visit the website www.ihmcl.com for more details.

This Chargeback process normally takes up to 20-30 working days. All incorrect deductions, if proven so, are reverted back post representing the case with Toll Plaza.
20) In case of harassment/ misconduct/ discourteous/ rude behavior of toll collection staff, what should we do?

21) Can one vehicle use more than one FASTag?

However, under circumstances, if the vehicle user is not satisfied with the service of a bank, he/she can get new FASTag assigned provided that the earlier tag has not been blacklisted by the bank due to various issues such as non-payment of toll, etc.
22) Can a FASTag bought for my one vehicle be used for another vehicle?
No, as per guidelines FASTag is issued to each vehicle based on RC copy of the vehicle. If there is mismatch, the ETC system at the toll plaza will detect the class mismatch and the FASTag is liable to be ‘blacklisted’ by the issuer bank and no new FASTag can be issued further against that vehicle number. FASTag users are advised to desist from such practice.
23) I have a FASTag with sufficient balance, but I could not go through ETC lane. How do I get my FASTag checked/ rectified to see whether it is active or not?
One may download “My FASTag App” of IHMCL – and check the real-time balance in the FASTag wallet assigned with the vehicle number.
- Green for Active tag with sufficient balance
- Orange for tags with low balance and
- Red for blacklisted tags.
This feature shall help FASTag user with sufficient FASTag wallet balance to pass through a toll lane by showing the tag status of the assigned vehicle, in case the tag status has not been updated in the toll plaza server due to various reasons.

25) Can the tags purchased earlier be used?
Yes, FASTag purchased earlier shall also work as long as it has got sufficient balance and it is not tampered.
26) What if the FASTag gets damaged?

Do & Don’t Do Close
SL NO | Do | SL NO | Don’t |
---|---|---|---|
1. | Ensure the windshield glass is clean and dry from inside before applying SBIFASTag. Ensure it is to be pasted on wind shield from inside. | 1. | Do not paste it on the UV protection film screen. |
2. | If your windshield has a UV Protection film on the inside, you need to remove the film from the area where you plan to stick the FASTag. The Fastag sticker must be installed directly on glass. UV protection films have a layer of metallic oxides on them which prevents the RFID reader at the toll booth from reading your vehicle’s FASTag. | 2. | While sticking the FASTag to your windshield, do not press hard or else you might damage the chip within. Once stuck, do not peel off the FASTag and try to move elsewhere. This too will damage the chip. |
3. | Please convert your limited KYC account in full KYC within 24 months from the date of onboarding. | 3. | While approaching the toll booth do not get close to the vehicle in front of you. Maintain a gap of at least 10 feet. Wait till the vehicle in front of you goes past the toll gate barrier, and the barrier arm is lowered before bringing your vehicle within the sensing range of overhead tag reader. |
4. | Do always maintain adequate balance in SBIFASTag. | 4. | Do not peel off the tags after affixing unless it is necessary. |
5. | Drive towards the toll booth window slowly. Sometimes, if the tag reader fails to read your Fastag in the first attempt, it becomes necessary to move your vehicle forwards or backwards. For this reason, the vehicle behind you must not be too close to yours. | 5. | Do not use chemical on SBIFASTag while cleaning the wind shield |
6. | If the tag reader fails to read your Fastag, you’ll have to pay the toll the old-fashioned way i.e. by cash or card. In such cases, ensure the toll receipt mentions your vehicle’s registration number correctly. Sometimes, the toll is debited from your Fastag, but the toll booth system fails to get updated. In this situation you will have to upload the photo of your toll receipt on your Fastag provider’s website / portal / app and request a refund. No refund is issued unless the photo of the toll receipt is uploaded, and it has your vehicles registration number mentioned on it. | 6. | Do not share your log in password with anyone. |
7. | When the system works smoothly, the toll booth displays Fastag and vehicle category immediately after the reader reads your Fastag, and the barrier arm lifts automatically. You don’t get a paper receipt like before. Instead you’ll get a SMS on your phone with the debited toll amount. Not all Fastag providers send a SMS (Some do, some do it later, and some just don’t). It is always a good idea to verify your toll transactions on your Fastag provider’s website / portal / app after your journey. | ||
8. | Please lodge your toll transaction related complaint within 30 days from the date of transactions. | ||
9. | Do contact helpline 1033/1800110018 in case of Toll Plaza/any other issue. |
