FASTag New Rules: KYV Discontinued for New FASTags from Feb 1, 2026

• New FASTag rules will be effective from February 1, 2026, making compliance mandatory for all.
• The Know Your Vehicle (KYV) process for new FASTags issued for cars, jeeps, and vans will be discontinued post-activation.
• All vehicle-related verification will now be completed before FASTag activation, eliminating post-activation hurdles.
• This change aims to simplify the FASTag process for private vehicle owners and reduce complaints.
• NHAI has strengthened pre-activation verification rules, requiring banks to verify vehicle information against the VAHAN database or Registration Certificate before activation.

Why It Matters: New FASTag rules from Feb 1, 2026, eliminate post-activation KYV for private vehicles, simplifying the process.
