How Auto-Recharge Works
Auto-Recharge is a very useful tool that ensures your ICICI Bank FASTag Account never runs out of money. There is a threshold below which your FASTag balance will automatically be topped-up from your linked bank account.
The minimum balance and recharge amount are specified by you and the rest is handled by the system. Since your FASTag Account is constantly recharged, you can drive through toll plazas without hindrances.
You won't have to stress about manually recharging FASTag or being stopped at toll booths when you use Auto-Recharge. It is an easy, stress-free method to keep your travels seamless and handle your toll payments.
