How do I get a free FAStag for disabled?

If you are reading this post or looking for info on “how to get free FASTag for disabled and physically challenged individuals,” there is a good probability that you are already familiar with what a FASTag is. You can also get free cars for the disabled.

First, to present the material in its entirety, let us begin with a concise overview of free fastag for handicapped car owners. After that, we will go into the specifics of the FASTag laws that apply to challenge people physically.

What is FASTag?

The government of India developed the Radio Frequency Identification Technology known as FASTag, intending to make it simpler and quicker for commuters to pass through toll plazas without dealing with any trouble.

It is recommended that the FASTag card be placed in the upper-middle section of the front windscreen of a vehicle. FASTag-activated toll plazas are fitted with a radio-frequency reader that searches the affixed FASTag card while the vehicle is moving and automatically excludes the toll fee from the digital wallet or savings account linked to the FASTag.

There is a widespread misconception that FASTag does not charge disabled individuals for its services. Furthermore, this is not the case. You should be aware that a FASTag is not given to a person but to a motor vehicle. You do not qualify for an exemption if you are a person with a physical disability who drives a standard car since you do not meet its criteria.

To qualify for the FASTag exemption, a vehicle must be registered in the RC book as either an “Invalid Carriage” or a “Retrofitted” carriage. According to the New Hampshire fee rule from 2008 and any adjustments made to the rule since then, cars registered under these categories come under the exempted category of motorized vehicles.

If your vehicle is not registered as an “Invalid Carriage” or “Retrofitted,” you must first be excused from paying the FASTag fee to be registered in one of those categories. You can write a request letter and send it to your RTO (Regional Transport Office).

Once your request has been reviewed and cleared by the appropriate office, you will receive a registration certificate.

• Once you have received this certificate, please take the following steps to get your free FASTag for disabled:
• All you need to do is to send a letter explaining that you are physically challenged and apply for an exemption for FASTag for physically challenged. This letter should be addressed to:
• The Regional Transport Office has your car’s registration number.
• The address for mailing should be mentioned in the letter.
• The Motor Vehicle Department of the RTO should obtain a copy of your RC book. If the book has not yet been issued, they can request it from you and send it by registered mail with a cover letter explaining the contents, the importance of why they require this copy, and your residential address.
