Now reduce the time you spend at toll plaza by avoiding payments in cash using the smart FASTag option. Many of you know about the application and recharging process, but do you know how to check FASTag balance. Let's get to know more about it in this article.

Every vehicle is liable to pay money at toll stations before going onto a national highway. One of the biggest problems toll plazas create is traffic congestion as people still use cash for paying the toll amount.
