FASTag KYC Update Deadline Is February 29: Know How to Update Or Upgrade FASTag With Easy Steps

FASTag KYC Deadline Is February 19: The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has set February 29 as the deadline for updating FASTag KYC. Failure to comply will result in banks deactivating or blacklisting accounts without comprehensive KYC details. This action follows reports of multiple FASTags issued for single vehicles and the issuance of FASTags without proper KYC, which violates RBI requirements.

Is?NHAI likely to extend the deadline for 'One Vehicle, One FASTag' initiative?

The last date to complete your FASTag KYC is February 29. However, there is a possibility that this deadline may be extended. According to a report by the news agency PTI, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is considering extending the 'One Vehicle, One FASTag' initiative compliance deadline to the end of March.

The reason behind this potential extension is the issues faced by Paytm FASTag users. A senior official mentioned in the report that NHAI may give FASTag users more time to shift to the 'One Vehicle, One FASTag' norm due to the crisis faced by Paytm.

What are FASTags?

FASTags are electronic toll collection stickers used in India to automatically deduct toll charges from a prepaid account linked to it. They employ Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to enable seamless passage through toll plazas without the need to stop and pay manually. FASTags have become mandatory for all vehicles in India, as per the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program, aimed at reducing congestion and enhancing the overall efficiency of the toll collection process on highways.

What happens if you don't update FASTag KYC by the deadline?

If you don't update your FASTag KYC details by February 29, your bank might turn off your account or even put it on a list of banned accounts. This means you won't be able to use your FASTag at toll booths, which could cause delays and trouble when you're on the road.

Ensure you update your FASTag KYC before February 29 to avoid disruptions in your FASTag services.
