How to Close Union Bank of India FASTag Safely Online
Step-by-step guide to deactivate Union Bank FASTag and claim refund efficiently
If you no longer need your Union Bank of India FASTag, whether due to switching providers or selling your vehicle, it is important to close it properly. Under the NHAI “One Vehicle, One FASTag” rule, only a single active FASTag is allowed per vehicle. Keeping multiple tags may lead to duplicate toll deductions or automatic deactivation of older tags.
This guide explains why and how to close your Union Bank FASTag, request refunds, and safely remove the FASTag sticker.

You may need to deactivate your FASTag in these situations:
Switching to another bank for better offers or convenience.
Preventing double toll charges caused by multiple active FASTags.
Claiming back your security deposit and unused balance.
