'One Vehicle, One Fastag' initiative launched by the National Highways Authority of India

Current Context: The ‘One Vehicle, One FASTag’ initiative was launched by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to enhance the efficiency of the Electronic Toll Collection system and provide seamless movement at toll plazas on 15th January 2024.

• This initiative aims to discourage user behavior of using a single FASTag for multiple vehicles or linking multiple FASTags to a particular vehicle.
• NHAI has urged FASTag users to complete the ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) process for their latest FASTag as per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.
• It’s important to note that FASTags with sufficient balance but incomplete KYC will be deactivated or blacklisted by banks after January 31, 2024.
• To avoid facing issues, users must ensure KYC completion for their most recent FASTag and adhere to the ‘One Vehicle, One FASTag’ guideline.
• They should dispose of any old FASTags through their banks and only the latest FASTag accounts will remain active.
