FASTag rules are changing from tomorrow, August 1, and it’s important for users to update their accounts to avoid problems at toll plazas. The new rules will help reduce traffic jams and speed up the paying tolls electronically.

If you don’t follow the new rules, authorities may blacklist your FASTag. So, make sure to update your FASTag details to keep things running smoothly!

What are the Changes in FASTag Rules?

One significant change is about the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. If your FASTag is five years old or more, you’ll need to replace it. So, check the issue date of your FASTag and visit the issuing authority to get a new one. Old FASTags will no longer work after tomorrow.

Moreover, you’ll need to renew your KYC details if your FASTag is at least three years old. You have until October 31 to complete this update. Update your KYC by the deadline to avoid blacklisting your FASTag and having it stop working. So, make sure to renew your KYC in time to keep your FASTag active!

There are some other important changes to FASTag rules starting August 1. Firstly, you’ll need to link your FASTag account to your vehicle and your phone number. Each FASTag must be used for only one vehicle, a rule that started in April.

Also, connect your FASTag to your vehicle’s registration number and chassis number. Upload photos of your vehicle’s front and side to finish this setup.

If you buy a new vehicle from August 1 onward, update the registration number on your FASTag within three months.

New NHAI guideline for FASTag

Earlier this month, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) announced new rules for FASTags. From now on, if your vehicle doesn’t have a FASTag on its windscreen, you’ll have to pay double the toll amount.

All toll plazas across national highways in India will soon enforce this new ruleThe aim is to cut down on delays and avoid inconveniencing other drivers. So, make sure your FASTag is properly displayed to avoid extra charges!
