Starting from August 1, new regulations concerning Fastag will come into effect. Under these new rules, vehicle owners must upload their vehicle registration number to the Fastag within 90 days of purchasing the vehicle.

An additional 30-day grace period will be provided, after which, if the vehicle number is still not updated, the Fastag will be blacklisted.
