In this article, we are covering a step-by-step guide to help you recharge your FASTag using PhonePe.
How to recharge your FASTag using PhonePe
Before beginning, note that the PhonePe app shows you the existing balance available on your FASTag account. This helps you decide how much money you need to add at the time of your latest recharge. Also, you are required to add your bank account on PhonePe to recharge your FASTag.
