FASTag is developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) under their National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program. If your vehicle does not have a FASTag for your vehicle, you will be penalised or pay double the fees at any toll plaza across the National Highways in India.

You can buy a FASTag online or go to your nearest IDFC bank branch. The bank will issue you a FASTag which toll plazas will scan and deduct appropriate amounts directly from your savings/current or prepaid accounts.
