FASTag KYC update deadline on January 31: How to do it, documents needed

FASTag KYC details will have to be updated before the January 31 deadline, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) said. Even in cases where there is enough balance, banks will deactivate or blacklist all FASTags with incomplete Know Your Customer (KYC) updates after January 31, 2024, NHAI said.

What Is FASTag?

FASTag- an electronic system- collects tolls on highways which makes paying the toll taxes at toll plazas much easier. The tag is applied to the car’s windscreen that is connected to a bank account or prepaid card. It uses RFID technology, when a car with a FASTag on it approaches the toll booth. The scanner scans the tag and deducts the toll.
