NHAI Rolls Out ‘One Vehicle, One FASTag’ Initiative | India Business News

[ad_1]

FASTag KYC update: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is launching the ‘One Vehicle, One FASTag’ initiative to make the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system work better and ease traffic at toll plazas. Its aim is to discourage using one FASTag for multiple vehicles or connecting several FASTags to a single vehicle.
To support this, NHAI has urged FASTag users to complete the ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) process for their latest FASTag, following Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines. It’s important to note that FASTags with sufficient balance but incomplete KYC will be deactivated or blacklisted by banks after January 31.
To avoid facing issues, users must ensure KYC completion for their most recent FASTag and adhere to the ‘One Vehicle, One FASTag’ guideline. They should dispose of any old FASTags through their banks and only the latest FASTag accounts will remain active. For assistance, users can contact toll plazas or use the toll-free customer care number provided by their issuer banks.The KYC process is an important step in onboarding for various services, including FASTag applications. This process helps entities identify and verify their customers, ensuring secure transactions. If there are changes in your KYC details, updating them promptly is essential.
