Understanding FASTag recharge channels: banks vs third-party apps

When it comes to recharging FASTag, you can choose between banks and third-party apps. Here is a comparison to help you decide:

Banks

  • Pros: Direct integration with your FASTag account, no third-party involvement.
  • Cons: Limited app features and fewer promotional offers.

Third-party apps

  • Pros: Convenience, user-friendly interfaces, and potential cashback offers.
  • Cons: Possible delays in balance updates and reliance on app support for issues.

Both options have their merits, and the choice depends on your preferences and priorities.

  • Convenience: Recharge your FASTag anytime, anywhere using your smartphone.

Incorrect Fastag Issuance 

What if the recharge fails or balance does not reflect after using a third-party app?

Recharging your FASTag via a third-party app is convenient, but there can be instances where the transaction fails or the balance does not reflect in your account. Here is a step-by-step guide to resolve such issues:

  1. Check transaction status: Verify if the payment was successfully processed. Most third-party apps provide a transaction history section.
  2. Wait for processing time: Sometimes, it may take a few hours for the balance to reflect. Ensure you wait for the stipulated time mentioned by the app.
  3. Contact the app’s support team: If the balance still does not reflect, reach out to the app’s customer support with the transaction ID and details.
  4. Reach out to your FASTag provider: If the issue persists, contact your FASTag provider’s helpline for assistance. Bajaj Finserv customers can rely on the FASTag helpline number for prompt support.
  5. Raise a dispute: If the issue remains unresolved, you can escalate the matter through formal complaint channels provided by the app or your FASTag provider.

By following these steps, you can address recharge failures effectively and minimise disruptions during travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I verify before selecting a third-party app to recharge my FASTag?

Verify the app’s reliability, official partnerships with FASTag providers, applicable fees, and user reviews before proceeding.

Can a third-party app recharge fail or be rejected for FASTag balance top-up? What happens then?

Yes, recharge failures can occur due to technical issues. Contact the app’s support team with your transaction details and escalate the issue if needed.

Is there a limit on how much I can recharge via third-party apps for my FASTag wallet?

Yes, transaction limits may apply based on your FASTag provider’s policies. Check the app for specific details.

Are third-party app recharges eligible for cashback or offers when recharging my FASTag?

Many third-party apps offer cashback or discounts. Check the app’s terms and conditions for eligibility.

Will a recharge via a third-party app protect me from paying double toll if my FASTag balance was low?
