How to pay toll through the comfort of your phone

If you own a car and travel a lot through highways and expressways, you must have come across the toll booths. Here, you have to pay the toll fee, which is a type of tax you pay to the government of India.
For convenience, several newer procedures have come into effect through which you can pay toll online. Here is a look at some of the methods through which you can pay the toll through your phone.

FASTag

Several apps allow users to transfer money into a virtual wallet. While passing through a toll booth, the user needs to scan the QR tag from their smartphones. This will directly transfer the required amount of money from the virtual wallet to that of the toll company. Many banks offer this facility, so you should ask for the same. This method of payment is often known as FASTag payment.

ToneTag

Paying toll usually takes a lot of time. However, through a ToneTag app making toll payments has become easier. Through this app, you simply have to unlock your mobile phone to make the payment. Users need to sync the ToneTag account with that of their virtual wallets, payment bank and UPI apps.

Benefits of paying toll through phone

• Paying toll usually requires you to carry cash. However, with the emergence of online payment options, you can pay toll even if you are not carrying cash physically.

• Since, this cashless process is much faster, cars can move on without having to stop near the toll booth. This helps reduce fuel consumption.

• Recharging the FASTag is very easy, since users can transfer funds using debit card, credit card, RTGS, NEFT and net banking.

• Once you sign up to FASTag, you can avail the service for 5 years without needing to sign up again.

• Using this cashless method for toll payment, you can receive cashback and discounts up to 10%. This means that you have to pay less if you opt to pay highway toll online.

• Lastly, you can save a lot of your time if you pay toll online. This will cut down on travelling time and ensure you reach your destination sooner.

So, the next time you are on the expressway and you have to pay highway toll, be ready with your FASTag app.
