The National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) makes it possible to collect toll tax seamlessly across the country through the use of the FASTag system. This enables quicker transition of vehicles through toll booths without the need for cash collection. The toll fee gets auto-debited with the help of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology.
