Ever driven up to a toll booth only to realize your FASTag balance is running low? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us! Luckily, checking your FASTag balance is a breeze. In this guide, we’ll explore various methods to check the balance for FASTags issued by SBI, IDFC, Axis, ICICI, and HDFC Banks – all in simple, everyday Hindi!

1. Banking App Balance Glance (अपने बैंक ऐप से झटपट चेक करें)

Most banks offering FASTags have integrated FASTag management features within their mobile banking applications. Here’s a quick rundown on how to access your balance on each bank’s app:

SBI YONO App: Log in and navigate to the “Recharge & Pay Bills” section. Select “FASTag” and choose “Check Balance.”
IDFC FIRST Bank FASTag App: Open the app and your balance will be displayed prominently on the home screen.
Axis Bank Mobile App: Login and go to the “Bill Pay & Recharge” option. Click on “FASTag” and select your FASTag account. The balance will be visible.
ICICI Bank iMobile App: Head to the “Bill Pay & Recharge” section and choose “ICICI FASTag.” Your balance will be displayed there.
HDFC Bank Mobile App: Login and navigate to “BillPay & Recharge” followed by “FASTag.” Select your FASTag account and click on “Get Bill” to view the balance.

These methods are convenient as you likely already have your bank’s app installed. Plus, most banking apps allow FASTag recharge within the same interface, making it a one-stop shop for managing your FASTag account.

2. Missed Call Magic (मिस्ड कॉल का जादू)

Did you know a simple missed call can reveal your FASTag balance? Here are the dedicated toll-free numbers for each bank:

SBI FASTag: Give a missed call to 1800 1100 18 (toll-free)
IDFC FIRST Bank FASTag: No dedicated missed call service currently available.
Axis Bank FASTag: Dial 9999* Toll Plaza ID # (toll-free) (Replace “Toll Plaza ID” with the numeric code found on your FASTag)
ICICI Bank FASTag: Give a missed call to +918884333331 (toll-free)
HDFC Bank FASTag: Dial 14772*0# (toll-free)

Remember, it’s a missed call, so don’t pick up the phone when it rings! You’ll receive an SMS shortly with your FASTag balance details. This method is handy when you’re on the go and don’t have easy access to the internet.

3. Bank Website Check-in (बैंक वेबसाइट पर लॉग इन)

For those comfortable using a web browser, you can check your FASTag balance directly on your bank’s website. Here’s a general guideline:

Visit your bank’s official website.
Login to your internet banking account.
Navigate to the “FASTag” or “Toll Payments” section (might vary slightly depending on the bank).
Locate the option to “Check Balance” or view your FASTag account details.

This method offers a bit more detail compared to a missed call, sometimes allowing you to see transaction history alongside your balance.

4. Customer Care Lifeline (ग्राहक सेवा का सहारा)

If the above methods don’t work for you, don’t hesitate to reach out to your bank’s customer care for assistance. Here are the respective customer care numbers for each bank’s FASTag service:
