How to Obtain FASTag without an RC Copy: Tips and Procedures

Getting your FASTag can be a breeze, especially if you have only your online registration paper and no physical Registration Certificate (RC) yet. Follow these steps to obtain your FASTag without the need for an RC copy.

Check with Banks or FASTag Issuers

Some banks and FASTag issuers may allow you to apply using an online registration document. Contact these institutions directly to inquire if they accept your online registration paper as a valid form of documentation. Many issuers have flexible procedures in place to accommodate such situations.

Provide Alternative Documents

If the issuer requires other documentation, you can provide:

A copy of the online registration paper Your identity proof such as Aadhaar or PAN Your address proof such as utility bills or bank statements

Use Online Services

Many FASTag providers have online application processes. Visit their websites and look for the option to apply for FASTag. Fill in the necessary details and upload the required documents. This method is often the most convenient and efficient.

Visit a Physical Location

If online options are not available, consider visiting a local branch of your chosen bank or FASTag issuer. Provide your online registration paper and explain your situation. The local branch may have a process in place for such cases. Be prepared to explain the details of your online application and provide any additional documents they may require.

Follow Up with RTO

To expedite the issuance of your physical RC, it’s advisable to follow up with your Regional Transport Office (RTO). This can help ensure that your RC is issued without delay, allowing you to complete your FASTag application more smoothly.

Additional Tips

Here are a few additional tips to keep in mind:

Verify Issuer Requirements: Always clarify the specific requirements and procedures with the issuer, as these can vary between different banks and FASTag providers. Alternative Payment Options: You can obtain FASTag from dealers at a cost (more expensive) or from fast tag kiosks at toll plazas at reasonable rates. Alternatively, you can apply online using your chassis number (free of cost). Vehicle Identification: A FASTag is linked to a vehicle number or chassis number, so it is essential to have both the vehicle number and RC for the application process. While some issuers may accept online registration papers, the vehicle number and chassis number are indispensable for linking the FASTag to your vehicle.

By following these steps, you can successfully obtain your FASTag even without a physical RC copy. Remember to stay organized and always check with the issuer to ensure you meet all the necessary requirements.
