Recharging to Fastag account is similarly like any other recharges. In fact, I have two Tags (one was taken by the dealer from Paytm when I purchased my car in 2018 which do not have Car registration number because the tag was taken before registration (Fastag details are compulsory for RTO registration). After registering the Car, I tried to upload documents to Paytm website but failed (Paytm problem). Then I left it like that and not bothered.
Now, after seeing the mandatory requirement for Fastag for Toll payment and Government issued ultimatum to get Fastag, I applied fresh with ICICI which I got it after 32 days.
In the meanwhile (whilst waiting for ICICI Tag), I just tried the Paytm Tag and surprised to see its also activated (without any documents uploaded) but in order to test whether it is actually active or not, I recharged Rs.50 from my debit card and that Rs.50 also added into my balance.
In the meantime, I received the Tag from ICICI and pasted it on my car (somehow I decided to use the ICICI Tag) .
I have recharged Rs.50 to Paytm from my ICICI debit card and Rs.100 to ICICI fastag using a Citibank Credit Card. Both recharge were successful (not necessarily you have to recharge from the same bank you have purchased the Fastag).
Suggest, you read the FAQ from the Bank websites for more clarity.
