New Delhi: Do have a FASTag but do not know the balance left in the account? Now you can get information about balance through a missed call.
FASTag users will get this facility free of cost all twenty four hours by giving a missed call on +91-8884333331 from their registered mobile number.
The service will be available on all mobile phones and telecom operators, said a statement by the government.
In case there are more than one vehicles linked to any NHAI prepaid wallet, then giving a missed call will result in a SMS that would display the cumulative balance of all the tags attached to each vehicle. If there is a vehicle which has low balance, another SMS will be sent mentioning the low balance.
This missed call facility is available only to NHAI FASTag users linked to NHAI prepaid wallet. The balance of other NHAI FASTag users that are attached to different bank accounts cannot be known through this facility.
About 2.25 lakh NHAI FASTag users have opted for NHAI’s Prepaid Wallet using My FASTag App. It is a bank-neutral tag and hence NHAI FASTag can be attached either to savings bank account or to NHAI Prepaid Wallet using My FASTag App.
There are now 13 commercial banks whose bank account can be linked to these FASTags. This App is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
