Understanding FASTag wallet vs tag-account vs linked bank account

To manage your FASTag wallet efficiently, it is important to understand the distinctions between the FASTag wallet, the connected tag account, and the linked bank account:

  1. FASTag wallet: This is the digital wallet where funds are stored for toll payments. It is managed by the issuing provider and can be topped up as per the defined limits.
  2. Tag account: The tag account is directly linked to your vehicle’s FASTag. It reflects the transactions made at toll plazas and deducts the charges from the wallet balance.
  3. Linked bank account: If your FASTag is connected to a bank account, payments are deducted directly from the account when the wallet balance is insufficient.

Understanding these components ensures that you can manage toll payments effectively and avoid disruptions during travel.

Wallet balance cap and “at any given point” limits for FASTag

FASTag wallets are subject to specific minimum and maximum balance caps to ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines:

  • Minimum Top-up Amount: The minimum recharge amount varies depending on your service provider but is typically Rs. 100.
  • Maximum Wallet Balance: For limited KYC FASTag wallets, the maximum balance is capped at Rs. 10,000. For full KYC wallets, this limit increases to Rs. 1 lakh.

These limits are in place to prevent misuse and ensure responsible usage of the FASTag system.

How to check your applicable FASTag wallet limit and stay compliant

You can easily check your FASTag wallet limits by following these steps:

  1. Log in to your FASTag account using your registered credentials.
  2. Navigate to the “Wallet Balance” or “Account Settings” section.
  3. Review your current wallet balance and applicable limits.

Staying informed about your wallet limits helps you avoid transaction failures and ensures uninterrupted travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a full-KYC FASTag wallet have unlimited top-up or balance?

No, even full-KYC FASTag wallets have a maximum balance cap of Rs. 1 lakh. This ensures compliance with regulatory guidelines.

Does the top-up or balance cap differ for private vehicles and commercial vehicles?

No, the wallet limits are determined by the type of KYC completed, not the vehicle type. Both private and commercial vehicle owners must adhere to the same wallet limits.

If I upgrade from limited KYC to full KYC, will my top-up limit for FASTag wallet instantly increase?

Yes, once your KYC upgrade is verified, the maximum wallet balance limit will increase from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 1 lakh.

How often is the top-up / load limit reset for my FASTag wallet (monthly/annually)?

The wallet balance does not reset periodically. However, you can top-up your wallet as needed, provided you do not exceed the maximum balance cap.

What happens if I attempt to top-up above the maximum allowed limit in my FASTag wallet?

If you try to top-up an amount that exceeds the wallet limit, the transaction will be declined, and you will receive an error message. Ensure you check your wallet balance before initiating a top-up.
