How to Check Your FASTag Balance: 6 Ways

FASTag has been made compulsory on almost all toll plaza across India to make payment transactions faster and easier. The FASTag sticker on your vehicle is scanned by the scanner and then toll amount is deducted from your FASTag account automatically. Now you don’t have to wait in a long queue at toll plaza and also you need cash or debit card to pay the toll tax.


The FASTag account is recharged like your mobile number. You should have money in your FASTag account, only then it will make the transaction possible. If you don’t have any amount, you may have to pay extra charges on the toll plaza. So before going on the counter, you should make sure that there is enough money in your FASTag account to pay for the toll tax.

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has made it easier to check the balance of your FASTag account directly from your smartphone. There are different methods you can use for this which works on both iPhone and Android. Below we have explained all methods in detail. Now without further ado, let’s begin this tutorial.
