In a significant move, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has declared that it will be deactivating FASTags without completed Know Your Customer (KYC) verification after January 31. This crucial update is aimed at streamlining the use of FASTags, preventing the issuance of multiple FASTags for a single vehicle, and ensuring that KYC processes are diligently followed. If you’re planning to hit the highways, it’s imperative to take a moment to update your FASTag KYC to avoid inconvenience. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Why is FASTag KYC Important?
The FASTag system has revolutionized toll collection, making it quicker and more efficient. However, incomplete KYC poses a risk of unauthorized issuance and misuse of FASTags. To ensure the integrity of the system, NHAI has mandated the deactivation of FASTags without completed KYC after January 31, regardless of the balance available.
