FASTag KYC Last Date: If you drive a car and use FASTag on it, then today 29th February is very important for you. If your FASTag KYC details are not updated then your FASTag may get blacklisted and shut down from tomorrow. According to the order of National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), banks will deactivate Fastag of customers if KYC information is not updated by the deadline. Due to this you may have to face many problems during the journey.
What is KYC and why is it important to update it?
Banks have to complete the process of KYC i.e. Know Your Customer, for which they ask for their details from the customers. Customers must verify their identity and address by providing their ID and other required documents. In fact, NHAI had come across cases where multiple Fastags were being issued on the same vehicle or Fastags were being given without verifying the details, due to which KYC rules have been made mandatory. This will prevent misuse of Fastag and the accounts of genuine customers will continue to run smoothly.
