Paytm unveils two new features for users: FASTag recharge and purchase

Paytm, the digital payments platform of One97 Communications, has announced two new features on its app to enhance convenience for drivers by enabling FASTag recharge directly through its app.

FASTags, utilising radio-frequency identification technology (RFID), have become mandatory for all four-wheeler vehicles in India, enabling automatic toll payments at toll plazas. With Paytm's integration, users can now recharge their FASTags and avoid long queues and delays at toll booths.
