[nikhilchauhan]

As a vehicle owner in India, you may have come to know about FASTag, which helps you pay your tolls digitally while crossing toll plazas without halting. SBI FASTag, with State Bank of India being its issuer, is one of the most commonly used FASTags in the country. Like any digital wallet, tracking your SBI FASTag balance will smooth the way for you and save you from fines and delays.

In this article, we will discuss how to check SBI FASTag balance by using several online and offline methods. Be it a techie or a straightforward user preferring simple SMS updates, this piece has something for everyone.

What Is SBI FASTag?​

FASTag is an RFID-enabled tag issued by State Bank of India for automatic toll deduction on national highways. It is done through SBI prepaid wallets or savings accounts according to the mode of registration. The complete process involves the automatic deduction of toll charges from the FASTag balance when a vehicle passes through a FASTag-enabled toll plaza. The FASTag not only helps minimize congestion and fuel wastage but also saves time on the highways.

Why It Is Important to Check SBI FASTag Balance?​

Your FASTag balance is considered a check to ensure

• Fast and smooth payment of tolls
• Avoid the penalty charges for not having enough funds
• Prevention of blacklisting of FASTag
• Audit of travel expenses incurred
• Forwarded recharge reminders at least

The status of your account will not permit you to transact with any vendor as the positive balance of the toll will not be there to clear out charges. This may be an inconvenience to your travel schedule and may end up incurring fines along some of the other toll plazas
