New Delhi. National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has changed the rules of FASTag from this month i.e. August 1. Now it has been made mandatory to update the KYC of three year old FASTag.
Also, five year old FASTag will now have to be replaced. Both these tasks will have to be done by 31 October 2024. After this, the FASTag which does not have KYC and which is five years old will be closed and blacklisted. Vehicle owners can update the KYC of FASTag online.
These rules have been implemented to make payments at toll gates more convenient and to remove the current chaos at toll plazas. Now FASTag users will have to ensure that their KYC details are fully updated to avoid getting stuck at toll plazas.
FASTag will have to be linked with registration and chassis number.
Vehicle owners will now have to link FASTags with their vehicle’s registration and chassis number. Registration will have to be updated within 90 days of purchasing a new vehicle.
