India Launches OneTag to Enable FASTag Bank Switching Without Tag Replacement
India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has launched 'OneTag,' a portability feature allowing FASTag users to switch their issuer bank without replacing the physical tag or closing their existing National Electronic Toll Collection account. The process, accessible via the NHAI's Rajmargyatra app, requires fresh Know Your Customer verification. Upon switching, the previous bank deactivates the old wallet and refunds any remaining balance, while the FASTag ID and physical tag remain unchanged for seamless toll payments.
