FASTag toll checks
FASTag toll checks: find double deductions and wrong charges
Toll is charged automatically, so mistakes go unnoticed: the same plaza twice in minutes, a car charged at truck rates, a toll on a day the vehicle never left the yard. FASTag in the app matches every debit to a trip and flags the ones that need a dispute.
Definition
FASTag double deduction is when the same vehicle is charged twice at the same toll plaza within a few minutes, usually because the reader scanned the tag twice. The second debit should be disputed with the issuer bank for a refund.
How do FASTag transactions get into the app?
Each FASTag account has a source. The simplest is uploading the issuer’s statement (Excel or CSV) or forwarding its emails to Smart Capture. Where the bank allows it, an API pulls transactions on a schedule. Every source feeds the same checks, and duplicates across sources are removed by transaction ID.
- Statement upload: works with every issuer.
- Axis Bank Toll Transactions API: integration available; needs Axis credentials and its encryption setup for production.
- By vehicle number across banks: integration available through a provider, billed per check (₹2 at launch).
- Generic issuer API: for issuers that give a URL and key.
How does the app catch double deductions and class mismatch?
After import, every toll is checked. Two debits for one vehicle at the same plaza within minutes are flagged as duplicates. A charge for a different vehicle class than the vehicle’s registered class is flagged as a class mismatch. Amounts far from that plaza’s usual charge are flagged too, so you know which tolls to dispute.
Each flagged toll can be marked as dispute raised, refunded or rejected. A refund of a disputed toll settles the dispute and is reflected in the wallet ledger.
How do GPS toll-plaza checks work?
With the GPS add-on, the vehicle’s route is compared with a master list of toll plazas. Each plaza the vehicle passed becomes an expected toll, which is matched with the FASTag debits. You see tolls charged where the vehicle was nowhere near the plaza, and passages that were never charged.
Plaza locations are imported from an authoritative list (NHAI / IHMCL data), never guessed, so the check only runs where the master list is filled in.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the app recharge FASTag for me?
No. Recharge with your bank as usual and record it (or accept the Smart Capture suggestion). The app tracks the wallet balance and alerts you when it is low.
Is a FASTag recharge an expense?
No. A recharge moves money from bank or cash into the FASTag wallet. Only toll debits are expenses, posted to the matched trip or the vehicle, so P&L counts tolls once.
Which FASTag alerts are there?
Low balance, blacklisted or blocked tag, toll with no active trip and duplicate deduction.
Is the Axis Bank API live for every customer?
The integration is built and is switched on per company once Axis Bank credentials and its encryption details are in place. Statement upload works for every bank today.
