Understanding FASTag requirements for commercial vehicles

FASTag for commercial vehicles is issued based on the Tag class, Mapper class and even the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Since there are different FASTags and toll fees that are deducted for each type of commercial vehicle, it is important to buy the right FASTag by defining the vehicle class and submitting the documents required for FASTag application. 

  • Tag Class: The class of Tag assigned to a commercial vehicle will differ, depending on its type ranging from mini commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, three axle commercial vehicles to seven or more axle vehicles.

  • Mapper Class: The National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) Mapper contains an extensive list of FASTag IDs and is used for the purpose of allocating transactions to member banks. Commercial vehicles are issued Tags based on the Mapper class for streamlining transactions. 

  • Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): FASTags are also issued based on the vehicle weight ranging from 7500 KGs for light commercial vehicles to 54200 KGs for seven axle commercial vehicles. 

How does the FASTag application process work?

The FASTag application process involves filling in the vehicle owner details and vehicle details along with the supporting FASTag KYC documents and bank account details. In order to buy FASTag for commercial vehicles, logistics owners, fleet managers or truck drivers or owner-operators can apply for FASTag based on the Tag class, mapper class and GVWR. Once the verification process is completed, the Tag ID will be connected to the respective bank account for toll deductions and the Tags will be affixed to the vehicles.
