New rules have come into effect for FASTag users from August 1. National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has issued new rules related to KYC.
It is necessary to complete KYC details by 31 October
According to the new rules, the companies which issued Fastag 3-5 years ago, will have to complete the KYC details of all Fastags by 31 October. This clearly means that it is necessary to update your KYC to avoid interruption in service. Apart from this, Fastags older than five years will also have to be replaced. Therefore, people who have old vehicles and have old Fastags installed on their cars will also have to take care of this.

It is necessary to link all Fastags to the vehicle’s registration number and chassis number. After this rule, the buyer of a new vehicle will have to update his registration number within 90 days. The companies providing Fastag will also have to upload clear photos of the front and side of the car to make identification of the vehicle easier.
Such people will have to pay double toll
Fastag should also be linked to a mobile number so that communication can be done easily and updates can be received. The last date for fulfilling all KYC rules related to Fastag is 31 October 2024. Earlier, news came that the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has taken strict action against those who deliberately do not install Fastag on the windscreen of the car.
Under this, NHAI has tightened its grip on those who knowingly do not put Fastag on their vehicle’s windscreen. Those who do not have Fastag on their windscreen will now have to pay double the toll tax. Not only this, those who repeatedly violate Fastag rules can also be blacklisted.
