FASTags have been made mandatory for all vehicles by India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. FASTags were introduced to reduce traffic at toll plazas and encourage cashless toll payments. Using FASTags, commuters do not have to stop and pay cash at the toll plaza, saving them a significant amount of time.

The government of India has certified 22 banks in the country to provide FASTag accounts to citizens. One of these 22 banks is HDFC, which provides you with FASTag services.
