Overview
- Banks may activate FASTags only after matching vehicle details with the VAHAN database.
- If VAHAN lacks records, issuers must verify the vehicle’s Registration Certificate before activation with full accountability.
- Routine KYV on existing car FASTags is discontinued, with checks limited to complaint-driven cases such as loose or duplicate tags or number mismatches.
- FASTags purchased online will be activated only after banks complete the same pre-activation validation.
- The revised norms cover passenger cars only and exclude commercial vehicles such as trucks and multi-axle vehicles.
