Overview
- Activation will be allowed only after issuer banks match vehicle data with the VAHAN database or verify the registration certificate when VAHAN records are absent.
- FASTags bought online will be activated only after the same bank-led validation is completed.
- Routine KYV checks end for cars, jeeps and vans, with KYV now triggered only by specific complaints such as loose or duplicate tags or suspected misuse.
- The revision does not apply to commercial vehicles such as trucks and multi-axle vehicles.
- The ministry says the change ends post-activation documentation and places full accountability on banks, with 40 banks currently issuing car FASTags.
