When the reader's signal reaches the tag, the tag transmits its stored data instantly—in milliseconds, without requiring line-of-sight or manual scanning. Mr. Gandhi, founder of M-Tech Innovations Ltd., describes it simply: the tag is a digital identity; the reader is the system that recognizes it. This architecture underpins India's FASTag highway system, PAN card authentication, Kumbh Mela crowd management, and corporate security access control.", "@type": "Answer"}}, {"name": "How does India's FASTag system use RFID to process highway toll transactions automatically?", "@type": "Question", "acceptedAnswer": {"text": "FASTag is India's national RFID-based toll collection system.
