In response to recent regulatory restrictions imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Paytm Payments Bank Limited (PPBL), Paytm has introduced a seamless solution for FASTag recharges directly through its app. This development aims to provide users with a hassle-free experience, enabling them to recharge their FASTags conveniently and swiftly.
FASTags have become mandatory for all four-wheeler vehicles, utilizing radio-frequency identification technology (RFID) for a reusable tag affixed to the vehicle's windscreen. This technology facilitates instant automatic deduction of toll charges, streamlining the toll payment process for motorists.
To recharge FASTag on Paytm, users can follow these simple steps:
1. Tap on the ‘FASTag Recharge’ option located under the ‘Bill Payments’ section within the Paytm app.
2. Select the issuing bank of your FASTag.
3. Enter the vehicle number linked to your FASTag and proceed.
4. Confirm the details and enter the desired recharge amount.
5. Complete the transaction by clicking on ‘Proceed to Pay’.
Upon successful completion of the recharge process, the amount will be instantly updated to the user's FASTag, ensuring uninterrupted usage for toll payments. With this user-friendly feature, Paytm continues to enhance its offerings, further cementing its position as a leading digital payment platform in India.
