Know FASTag rules for linking your vehicle registration number

If you use FASTag for toll payments, you’re already enjoying the convenience of smooth and quick journeys on the road. However, new FASTag rules from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) have recently come in. This implies that you must take action to maintain compliance and ensure your FASTag functions smoothly. One of the major requirements is the correct registration and updation of your vehicle details.

What’s new?
 

The NPCI has introduced new FASTag rules requiring all FASTags to link to your vehicle’s registration and chassis numbers correctly. This mandatory requirement is to be met by 31 October 2024. If your FASTag isn’t correctly linked by the given deadline, it could be invalidated, leaving you with the hassle of manual toll payments and potential penalties.

If you’re a new vehicle owner or getting a FASTag for the first time, link FASTag to your vehicle’s registration and chassis numbers within 90 days of purchase. This ensures that your FASTag payments are correctly processed from day one, preventing any toll payment issues.

Why is this important?
 

The primary goal of these new FASTag rules is to enhance security and ensure that your FASTag payments are correctly processed. By linking your FASTag to your vehicle’s registration and chassis numbers, you’re helping to maintain the integrity of the system, ensuring that your payments are seamless and your journeys remain uninterrupted.
