Paytm, a leading digital payments platform in India, is revolutionizing road travel convenience with its latest feature allowing users to recharge FASTags directly through its app. The move aims to alleviate the hassle of long queues and delays at toll plazas, offering users the flexibility to recharge their FASTags anytime and anywhere.
