Here is an important update for all those planning to undertake road journey in the next few days or cross a toll plaza from one district to another. According to National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the deadline to get Know Your Customer (KYC) done for your FASTag is ending today, January 31.
For those who fail to get the KYC done, their FASTag will become inoperative from tomorrow, February 1. FASTag is a pre-paid tag facility for vehicles that allows non-stop movement of traffic without having to wait for toll tax payment at toll plazas. A FASTag sticker is usually affixed on the windscreen of the vehicle.
The KYC check was introduced to enhance the efficiency of the electronic toll collection system and provide seamless movement at toll plazas without unnecessary clogging of traffic.
The NHAI said it took the initiative after it was informed that more than one FASTag has been issued for a particular vehicle, and FASTags have being issued without KYC in violation of RBI’s mandate.
The Fastag Kyc Is Ending Today
What Should I Do For Last-minute Fastag Kyc Update?
The NHAI had released the notification regarding the January 31 deadline in December last year. But if you forgot to update the KYC of your FASTag, here’s what you can do:
- Most of the bank branches close by 4pm, so you may avail online facility instead of an in-person solution.
- Open the FASTag website of the bank that has issued your RFID document. To access the required page, you may Google the name of the website with the keyword ‘FASTag’.
- Log in using your registered mobile number and entering the OTP received.
- Go to My Profile section and click on the KYC tab.
- Fill in required details like address proof and submit. The KYC page will then show your KYC status.
Documents Required To Complete Fastag Kyc
- Registration certificate of vehicle.
- Identity proof.
- Address proof.
- A passport-size photo.
Passport, Voter ID, Aadhar Card, Driving Licence, and PAN card can be used as your identity and address proof.
