NHAI Introduces OneTag Service Allowing FASTag Issuer Switching Without Tag Replacement
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched OneTag, a portability service on the RajmargYatra app that allows FASTag users to switch issuer banks without replacing the physical tag. This service simplifies the process by enabling users to retain their existing FASTag linked to their vehicle registration. After portability, the previous issuer closes the old FASTag wallet and refunds the balance. A six-month cooling period applies before another portability can be initiated.
