Nitin Gadkari Launches OneTag for FASTag Bank Portability Without Tag Replacement
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari launched OneTag, a system enabling FASTag users to switch their issuer bank without replacing the physical tag. Developed by IHMCL and NPCI, OneTag retains the same Tag ID and vehicle registration, simplifying the portability process via the NHAI's Rajmargyatra app. This initiative aims to enhance user convenience and reduce tag production. The old and new banks coordinate the transfer, ensuring seamless service continuity for motorists.
