Last Day Alert: Update Your FASTag KYC Now – Easy Step-by-Step Guide

Today is the final call to update your KYC for FASTag. Missing this deadline means starting February 1, 2024, you’ll be facing double toll charges. Fortunately, updating your FASTag from the comfort of your home is a breeze. Let’s walk through the process:

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) recently launched a week-long “One Vehicle One FASTag” campaign. If you haven’t completed your KYC by today, January 31, 2024, your FASTag will be inactive post this date, even if there’s a balance. NHAI stresses that while your FASTag may have a balance, without KYC, it will be rendered inactive after January 31, 2024.

Since February 15, 2001, FASTags have been mandatory for all vehicles passing through toll plazas. This system streamlines the process, allowing vehicles to pass through expressways without waiting in long lines. The FASTag, affixed to your vehicle, automatically deducts toll charges using sensors/scanners at toll booths.
