Nitin Gadkari Launches OneTag to Enable FASTag Bank Switching Without Tag Replacement
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari launched OneTag, a new system allowing FASTag users to switch their issuing bank without replacing the physical tag, tag ID, or vehicle registration number. The portability service, accessible via NHAI's Rajmargyatra app, streamlines the process by retaining existing tag details while changing the bank issuer. Developed jointly by IHMCL and NPCI, OneTag aims to simplify FASTag management and reduce the need for new tags, enhancing user convenience across participating banks.
