FASTag has completely transformed the way toll payments are made, making highway travel seamless and fast. It’s an RFID technology-based cashless payment system that allows vehicles to pass through toll plazas without stopping. However, in certain circumstances, such as selling a vehicle or due to account-related issues, it becomes necessary to disable it.
