What Are the Documents Required to Apply for FASTag?

FASTag is an electronic toll collection system implemented by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). Using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, FASTag automates toll payments from a linked account, eliminating the need for cash transactions. With the government mandating FASTag usage, vehicle owners without it face double toll charges.
