Such deactivation at the NHAI level will help you avoid unnecessary toll deductions. This is regardless of the wallet provider or issuing bank.
Usually, this bank takes 15 days to credit refunds, including remaining balance and security deposit.
First, use your issuer’s portal or helpline to check your FASTag balance. Submitting a refund request is typically part of the closure process.
Share your bank details securely where needed for this task. Any and all refunds usually take 7-15 working days. Depending on the issuer and circumstances, this timeline can vary.
