FASTag / How to recharge your FASTag using Google Pay ?

How to Recharge FASTag Using Google Pay : Starting Jan 15, FASTag has become mandatory for vehicle owners in India to allow automatic toll collection at the toll plazas. And while we already had several apps facilitating FASTag recharges.

Google Pay too has now joined the wagon with its latest update. In this article, let’s see more on how you can recharge FASTag using Google Play app on your phone.

As per NPCI guidelines, Banks licensed to provide FASTag services, should provide FASTag customers with the option to recharge their FASTag through UPI.

Among the mobile apps that allow users to transfer money through UPI, Google Pay is a very popular mobile app. Google Pay can be used to recharge your FASTag, whichever bank your FASTag is issued from.

The UPI ID to your FASTag is netc.XXXXXXXXX@bank-name

For example if your FASTag is from HDFC Bank and your vehicle number is DL 02 N 1234, then your UPI VPA (Virutal Private Address) or UPI ID would be netc.dl02n1234@hdfcbank.

This UPI ID or UPI address is case insensitive. So NETC.DL02N1234@HDFCBANK is the same as netc.dl02n1234@hdfcbank.
