New FASTag rules take effect from August 1: All you need to know about key changes and guidelines

New FASTag rules: The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has rolled out new guidelines for FASTag users, which took effect from Thursday, August 1. These updated guidelines primarily focus on updated Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, aiming to bolster the efficiency and security of the electronic toll collection system across the country. FASTag, a widely used pre-paid tag facility, has revolutionised the way vehicles pass through toll plazas, enabling non-stop movement and reducing congestion. However, to maintain the integrity of this system and ensure seamless service, the NPCI has now mandated that all FASTag users update their KYC information.
