Explanation:

The first statement is correct. FASTag is an electronic toll collection system in India, operated by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). It uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to enable direct toll payments from the vehicle's linked prepaid or savings account, allowing vehicles to pass through toll plazas without stopping for cash transactions.

The second statement is incorrect. FASTag is not developed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology under the Digital India program. It is an initiative by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL). The system is part of the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program, which aims to ensure seamless movement of traffic and collection of toll digitally at toll plazas.

The third statement is incorrect and about Bharat QR and is not related to FASTag. Bharat QR is indeed a mobile payment solution in India that provides a quick response (QR) code payment method for both person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions. However, this statement does not pertain to FASTag.

Therefore, only the first statement about FASTag is correct.
