Fast tag without Car?

What is the maximum time it takes for Paytm fastag via Cred to go through? In my experiences so far the most it took was 20 mins.. Today too 2 transactions of 1000 & 1600 went through instantly but the 3rd one for 1900 is stuck for 5 hrs + now.

It is instant. If it’s taking time, it means limit has exhausted probably and the txn amount will refund.

Ok thats strange then.. I had added 8.5k between 2 & 8 Dec last month & today made for 1600 followed by 1000 after which the 3rd one is still processing for 5+ hrs currently. If 10k is the hard limit even for a continuous 30 day period.. 2nd txn should not have gone through but donno. Basis the calendar month logic, I had added only 2600 this month so far.

Thats quite some research then 😀 thanks! So my attempt which I mentioned above will refund back? Cred shows it as "processing"
Yes trial and error makes us learn
No worries you will get refunded to card within 48 hrs I mean txn won’t get settled with merchant it will return to source

Ok will track this. In my case, does that now mean I should wait 31/32 days from today or should I try after 8th (considering I used 8.5k till Dec 8) 😅 If 32 days from today.. will effectively mean this month's quota will be wasted for a good 6-7k 😥

Mine is a genuine/ old fastag for my car btw which is active for last 2-3 yrs. Discovered this grey area / spend optimization opportunity last month so tried it first time in Dec itself 😁

Good that u r squeezing some benefits from ur real fastag
I have hdfc fastag in my car which is of no use other than the purpose lol
And yes better recharge once in 32 days and utilize paytm balance to pay other card bill and then do next recharge post 32 days to avoid confusion
 
I applied for a 2nd ICICI Fastag in addition to my existing Airtel Fastag, so that I can use it at HP Pay and load using Amazon. The ICICI fastag is now showing as blacklisted.
I don't think it's possible to have two fastags for the same vehicle
 
The second tag overrides the first one is my experience with my car.
Had airtel which was deactivated or something. So at toll plaza when the tag didnt work, bought a paytm one. So now paytm is active on NETC fastag app for my car number.

If first one is already deactivated, then new one will work.. otherwise the new one gets blacklisted

Ah, interesting. My first one was showing as active though in airtel app. Hadn't checked NETC app till then.
In another instance, we sold our old car with Paytm Fastag and person who bought got ICICI tag - without us disabling the old one.
