An important update for people who plan to take their vehicles on highways – if the Know Your Customer (KYC) for FASTags affixed on your car’s windscreen is not done, it will be deactivated, regardless of the balance. The deadline to ensure the same is January 31, which is just a week away. The announcement has been made by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), which added that to avoid inconvenience, users must ensure that KYC of their latest FASTag is completed. The initiative seeks to stop people from using single FASTag for multiple vehicles or multiple FASTags for single vehicle.
