FASTag has streamlined toll payments and parking transactions at various locations, including airports. However, users need to ensure that their Know Your Customer (KYC) information is up to date, especially with the impending deadline for KYC updates.
Deadline for FASTag KYC Update
The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has set the deadline for updating FASTag KYC details as January 31. Failure to update KYC information by this date may result in deactivation or blacklisting of the FASTag by banks. NHAI initiated this measure in response to reports of multiple FASTags issued for a single vehicle and instances of issuance without proper KYC documentation, violating RBI regulations.
Required Documents for FASTag KYC Update
To update your FASTag KYC, you will need the following documents:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- ID proof
- Address proof
- Passport-size photograph
How to Update FASTag KYC
Once you have gathered the necessary documents, follow these steps to update your FASTag KYC:
- Visit the FASTag website.
- Click on the “Login” button located at the top right corner.
- Enter your mobile number and click on “Get OTP.”
- Enter the OTP received, fill in the captcha, and click on “Login.”
- Navigate to “My Profile” in the Dashboard.
- Review your KYC details and complete the update process if necessary.
If your KYC information requires updating, provide the requested documents to ensure compliance.
Importance of a Functional FASTag
FASTag has become indispensable for highway travel, and with initiatives from the Transport and Highways Ministry, including satellite-based tolling systems, maintaining an active and updated FASTag is crucial for hassle-free journeys. Stay compliant with the latest regulations to avoid any disruptions in your FASTag usage.
