New Delhi: New regulations for FASTag have now started from 1st August. From today, a new law has been implemented across the country. Three to five years back the FASTag KYC procedures were issued. In this process all the FASTags older than five years will have to be completely replaced. Adding to that the vehicle registration number and Chechis number will also be added to FASTag. New vehicle owners are required to update their registration number within the 90 days of purchase. They must verify and update their databases with accurate vehicle information, upload clear photos of the vehicle’s front and side for easier identification. Adding to that ensure each FASTag is connected to a mobile number for improved communication.
Some important steps that Vehicle owners should take:
- Check the issuance date of your FASTag
- If your tag is between 3-5 years old, complete the KYC update before October 31
- Replace tags older than 5 years
- Ensure your FASTag is linked to your vehicle’s registration and chassis numbers
- New vehicle owners should update their registration details within 90 days
The Union Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has informed the Rajya Sabha that the FASTag system is going to become history. Also, toll tax will be deducted through satellite. In the first phase, it will be implemented as a pilot project with the FASTag system at selected toll gates in the country. The departmental minister said that GNSS-based toll collection will be even faster than FASTag.
