NHAI Eases FASTag KYV Rules, Keeps Mandatory Verification Intact

Pre‑policy tags stay active unless misuse is flagged, with banks required to notify users before any cut‑off.

Overview

  • Indian Highways Management Company Limited revised KYV to drop side photos for cars, jeeps and vans, requiring only a clear front image showing the number plate and FASTag.
  • RC details will be auto‑fetched from the Vahan database when users enter a vehicle number, chassis number or registered mobile, with an option to select among multiple vehicles on one number.
  • FASTag services for tags issued before the KYV policy will generally continue unless loose tags or other misuse are reported, and issuer banks must send reminders and assist customers.
  • KYV remains compulsory for all FASTag users to enforce the one‑vehicle‑one‑tag rule, curb fraud and improve data integrity, with verification repeated every three years.
  • Officials acknowledged earlier toll‑plaza interruptions and technical glitches; users can seek help via issuer banks or the National Highway Helpline 1033, and deactivation remains possible for continued non‑compliance.
