One of the most significant changes involves the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. FASTag accounts that are five years old or older must be replaced starting August 1. Users are advised to check the issuance date of their FASTag accounts and seek replacements from their issuing authorities, as these old accounts will become invalid. Additionally, accounts that are at least three years old will need to renew their KYC details. The deadline for completing this process is October 31. Failure to comply with the new KYC requirements could result in the blacklisting of the FASTag accounts.
