■ What is FASTag?
◆ FASTag is a RFID passive tag used for making toll payments directly from the customers linked prepaid or savings/current account. It is affixed on the windscreen of the vehicle and enables the customer to drive through toll plazas, without stopping for any toll payments. The toll fare is directly deducted from the linked account of the customer. FASTag is also vehicle specific and once it is affixed to a vehicle, it cannot be transferred to another vehicle. FASTag can be purchased from any of the NETC Member Banks. If a FASTag is linked to the prepaid account, then it needs to be recharged/ topped-up as per the usage of the customer. If adequate balance is not maintained by the customer, the FASTag gets blacklisted at the toll plaza. In such a scenario if the customer travels through a toll plaza without recharging then he won't be able to avail the NETC services and would be required to pay the toll fare through cash.

2.The infrastructure deployed between Sl system/Concessionaire and Banks are secured by whitelisting only permitted IP Addresses and URLS. The hardware installed at the Toll Plaza data centre/server room are cryptographically secured through Hardware Security Module (HSM).
3. Further, acquiring banks are connected to NPCI for interoperable NETC FASTag linked payments for which NPCI switch is connected with Acquirer & Issuer Banks through secure NPCHNET connectivity. The IPs of Banks are whitelisted t NPCI end and similarly, NPCI IPs are whitelisted at the Banks end to facilitate the API connectivity between NPCI & Banks.
4. Every API call needs to pass through a secure Firewall. Every time the Bank connects with NPCI through API connectivity, the data is encrypted with a secure 256 SHA ECC algorithm and locked with a Hexadecimal Private Key. Only NPCI possessing the corresponding Public key will be able to access the information by decryption.
5. Every Merchant (Toll & Parking Plazas) on-boarded by NPCI are allotted a unique Plaza code. Which is on-boarded only by authorised acquirer Banks active on the NETC FASTag ecosystem.

फास्टैग ने लिखा- NETC फास्टैग का लेनदेन केवल रजिस्टर्ड व्यापारी (टोल और पार्किंग प्लाजा ऑपरेटर) ही कर सकते हैं, जिन्हें उनकी जियो-लोकेशन से NPCI ने फास्टैग व्यवस्था में शामिल किया है। NETC FASTag पर कोई भी अनधिकृत डिवाइस ट्रांजैक्शन नहीं कर सकती है। फास्टैग पूरी तरह सुरक्षित है।Hi, NETC FASTag transaction can only be initiated by the registered merchants (Toll & Parking Plaza operators) which are onboarded by NPCI only from the respective geo-locations. No unauthorized device can initiate any financial transactions on NETC FASTag. It is absolutely safe.

A video is spreading misinformation about Paytm FASTag that incorrectly shows a smartwatch scanning FASTag. As per NETC guidelines, FASTag payments can be initiated only by authorised merchants, onboarded after multiple rounds of testing. Paytm FASTag is completely safe & secure. pic.twitter.com/BmXhq07HrS

Paytm ने वीडियो को फेक बताते हुए लिखा- एक वीडियो में Paytm फास्टैग को लेकर गलत सूचना फैलाई जा रही है। NETC दिशानिर्देशों के अनुसार, FASTag भुगतान केवल रजिस्टर्ड व्यापारी ही कर सकते हैं। इसकी कई राउंड में टेस्टिंग की गई है। पेटीएम फास्टैग पूरी तरह सुरक्षित है।
