NHAI Extends FASTag KYC Deadline till 29th Feb: Here’s How to Update

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has extended the deadline for updating Know Your Customer (KYC) details on FASTags till 29th February to enhance the efficiency of toll booths and discourage the misuse of multiple FASTags for a single vehicle. The move is a part of the “One Vehicle, One FASTag” initiative which is aimed at streamlining toll operations and ensuring a seamless experience for National Highway users.

Why KYC is essential for FASTags?

As per the rules of the Reserve Bank of India, FASTag users must complete the KYC process. This ensures that the electronic toll collection system operates smoothly and helps prevent the issuance of multiple FASTags for a single vehicle.

What is the new deadline for FASTag KYC?

The initial deadline for updating KYC details was set for 31^st January 2024. However, NHAI has extended the deadline by a month, and the new expiration date is now 29^th February 2024.

Here, the users failing to update their KYC details by this deadline risk having their FASTags blacklisted or deactivated by banks.

What are the documents required for FASTag KYC?

• Vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC)
• Passport-size photograph
• Identity proof (driving license, PAN card, Aadhar card, passport, or vote identity card of the vehicle owner).

How to update FASTag KYC?

• Visit the dedicated customer web portal.
• Login using your registered mobile number and password.
• Navigate to the dashboard and select the ‘My Profile’ option to view submitted details during registration.
• Select the customer type and fill in mandatory fields with the required ID proof and address proof documents.

• Tick the box for self-declaration of authentication before submitting the details.

Conclusion

The extension of the FASTag KYC update deadline provides users with an additional month to comply with the regulations. As keeping the KYC details updated not only ensures the continued functionality of FASTags but also contributes to a smoother and more efficient electronic toll collection system on India’s national highways.

Users are urged to act promptly and make use of the extended deadline to avoid disruptions in their FASTag services.
