Late last year, the Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari announced that all vehicles in India should have FASTags from January 1, 2021, onwards. This move came amid the government’s efforts to enable seamless movement of traffic throughout the toll plazas all over the country.
FASTag helps drivers at toll plazas to pay cash instantly without waiting in a queue. They can do this by paying money directly from the bank. Already, FASTag has teamed up with over 20 banks to facilitate the same. This can be done via banks, UPI or e-wallets. We have already seen how to Recharge Fastag on Paytm.
Some users who use FASTag on Paytm have faced issues. In that case, they can contact the Paytm customer care number for FASTag 1800-102-6480. Do keep in mind that the Paytm FASTag customer care number will not be able to help if you use the FASTag account from other issuing banks. Still, if you want to deactivate your Paytm FASTag, then you can follow the steps mentioned below.
