The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced an extension of the deadline for FASTag KYC (Know Your Customer) update until March 31. Initially set for February 29, the new deadline provides users with an additional month for compliance. As part of the NHAI's One Vehicle, One FASTag initiative, each vehicle will now be associated with a single FASTag, which cannot be transferred to another vehicle. NHAI has taken this decision in consideration of potential issues faced by Paytm FASTag users, ensuring they have adequate time to comply with the KYC requirements.
NHAI has urged individuals to promptly update their KYC details to avoid any inconvenience in toll payments on national highways. Failure to update FASTag KYC by March 31 could result in the deactivation of your FASTag account.
To update KYC details, vehicle owners must submit specific documents, including:
- Vehicle Registration Certificate
- Driver's License
- PAN Card or Voter ID Card
Additionally, proof of address documents such as Aadhaar card, passport, and a passport-size photograph are required. It is essential to ensure that all necessary documentation is provided to facilitate a smooth update process and uninterrupted toll payments.
