How Automatic FASTag Deductions Work: A Step-by-Step Guide

Understanding how automatic toll deductions work can help you manage your FASTag wallet better. Here is a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Tag scanning at toll plaza: As your vehicle approaches a toll plaza, the FASTag scanner detects your tag.
  2. Verification of details: The scanner verifies your vehicle details linked to the tag.
  3. Automatic deduction: The toll amount is deducted from your FASTag wallet linked to Bajaj Finserv.
  4. Notification: You will receive an SMS or email confirming the deduction.

Pro Tip: Keep your wallet balance above the minimum requirement to avoid failed transactions.

Ensuring Uninterrupted Travel: How to Maintain Sufficient Balance

Maintaining a sufficient balance in your FASTag wallet is critical for smooth travel. Here are some tips:

  • Set up auto-recharge: Link your FASTag wallet to your Bajaj Finserv account for automatic top-ups.
  • Monitor your balance: Use the customer portal to check your wallet balance regularly.
  • Plan for long journeys: Estimate the toll charges for your trip and ensure your wallet has enough funds.

Pro Tip: Keep a buffer amount in your wallet to cover unexpected tolls or changes in charges.

Why Your Transaction Might Fail: Common Issues and Fixes

Failed toll payments can be frustrating, but they are often caused by easily rectifiable issues. Here are the most common reasons and how to fix them:

  • Insufficient balance: Ensure your wallet has enough funds to cover toll charges.
  • Inactive FASTag: If your FASTag is not active, contact the Bajaj Finserv support team to reactivate it.
  • Technical errors at the toll plaza: In case of technical issues, keep a record of your transaction and raise a dispute through the customer portal.

Pro Tip: Regularly check your FASTag wallet balance and keep it topped up to avoid disruptions.
