What is FASTag?
FASTag is an electronic toll collection system in India that employs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to enable cashless toll payments. Attached to a vehicle’s windshield, it automatically deducts toll charges from a prepaid or linked account as the vehicle passes through toll plazas. 
This contactless and time-efficient method aims to reduce traffic congestion and enhance the overall toll collection process on national highways. FASTag promotes digital transactions, streamlining travel for commuters and contributing to a more efficient transportation system.
The FASTag KYC deadline is today. If you haven’t completed KYC by today, i.e., January 31, 2024, starting from tomorrow, i.e., February 1, you will have to pay double toll charges. So, let us guide you through the process of updating FASTag KYC from the convenience of your home.
India (NHAI) said. Even in cases where there is enough balance, banks will deactivate or blacklist all FASTags with incomplete Know Your Customer (KYC) updates after January 31, 2024, NHAI said
