NHAI Launches OneTag Service for FASTag Issuer Portability on Rajmargyatra App
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched 'OneTag', a FASTag portability service on its Rajmargyatra app, allowing users to switch their FASTag issuer bank without replacing the physical tag on their vehicle. Users can check eligibility, receive a verification code, select a new issuer, and complete onboarding digitally. The existing FASTag ID remains unchanged, and the previous issuer refunds any balance after closure. A six-month cooling period applies before another switch. This initiative aims to enhance user convenience, reduce operational costs, and strengthen the digital toll collection system.
