FASTag Recharge: If you are facing issues with low balance in FASTag and long waiting times at the toll plaza, then don’t worry. It is very straightforward to recharge. You can recharge FASTag using any UPI app within minutes, such as PhonePe, Google Pay, or Paytm.
The process for recharging FASTag balance through an UPI app is as follows.
Take any UPI app on your smartphone (PhonePe, Google Pay, or BHIM).
Select Pay or Send Money or Transfer Money option.
After this step, you will be shown the option to type in UPI ID.
Now you have to type in netc.vehiclenumber@bankupihandle as UPI ID. Let’s say, you have ICICI Bank Fastag and the vehicle number is DL01AB1234, then you will have to put netc.DL01AB1234@icici as UPI ID.
Type the balance you wish to recharge.
Withdraw the amount approval by entering your UPI PIN.
Your FASTag recharge has succeeded. The recharge amount will be considered toward the FASTag as soon as it is deducted from your bank.
Please enter the name of your bank linked to FASTag in the UPI ID field. Below are some UPI handles of big banks.
State Bank of India- @sbi
ICICI Bank- @icici
HDFC Bank- @hdfcbank
Axis Bank- @axisbank

Each vehicle comes with an RFID sticker which is placed on the vehicle windscreen. With this, there is no need to stop at a toll plaza as the fee will be automatically deducted from your account. However, having a sufficient balance in your FASTag account is crucial.
