Double toll without e-KYC; Extension of time till February 29 for drivers to update ‘FASTag’

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has given relief to motorists regarding ‘FASTag’. Those who have not yet updated ‘e-KYC’ of ‘FASTag’ have been given an extension till February 29.

‘FASTag’ for commuters, who have not updated e-KYC, will be deactivated. As a result, they have to pay double toll.

About 50 percent of motorists in Pune city and district have updated ‘e-KYC’ of ‘FASTag’. FASTag has to be linked with PAN card along with Aadhaar card while updating e-KYC.

‘FASTag’ was made mandatory for four-wheelers in the country from February 15, 2021 in order to reduce the congestion at the toll booths and not take too long for the toll.
