FASTag KYC Update: Every Fastag user is required to update the KYC of the Fastag issued for toll collection. NHAI (National Highway Authority of India) had also extended the deadline for this. Now the last date to do so is March 31, 2024. Therefore, if you have also not updated the Fastag KYC on your vehicle, then you will have to update the KYC details of your card immediately.
What is Fastag?
Whenever you pass through a toll plaza on a highway, you have to pay toll tax. Earlier there used to be long queues at toll plazas, to solve this the government had started the facility of Fastag. This is a type of electronic toll collection. FASTag is a radio frequency identification tag which is affixed on the windscreen of the vehicle. It is linked to a prepaid account, so that whenever you pass through a toll plaza, you do not have to stop there and the device installed at the toll immediately scans this card and the toll is automatically deducted. According to the government order, Fastag will have to be installed on every four-wheeler and big vehicles in the country.
