NHAI Abolishes KYV for New FASTags from Feb 2026: Hassle-Free Travel Ahead!

• NHAI ends KYV process for new FASTags (cars, jeeps, vans) from February 1, 2026, simplifying activation.
• Existing FASTag users only need KYV if a complaint arises (e.g., misuse, wrong vehicle).
• New rule mandates pre-activation verification: vehicle details must be checked against VAHAN database.
• If VAHAN data is unavailable, banks must verify using RC, bearing full responsibility.
• Aims to provide a smoother, hassle-free FASTag experience for millions of highway users.

Why It Matters: NHAI streamlines FASTag: KYV abolished for new tags, pre-verification mandatory for ease.
