FASTag, the RFID-based toll collection system in india, has become mandatory for most vehicles. To enhance security and ensure accurate vehicle information, the National Payments Corporation of india (NPCI) introduced KYV – Know Your Vehicle. Here’s everything you need to know:
1. What is KYV in FASTag?
- KYV stands for Know Your Vehicle.
- It is a verification process to confirm that the FASTag is linked to the correct vehicle, matching vehicle registration details with the FASTag account.
- This ensures safe and seamless toll transactions while preventing fraud or misuse.
2. Why KYV is Important
- Ensures accurate toll deductions from the correct FASTag account.
- Helps prevent fraudulent or duplicate FASTags on the same vehicle.
- Maintains a secure transport system by verifying vehicle ownership and details.
3. How to Complete KYV for Your FASTag
Login to your FASTag portal (bank or NPCI-approved app).
Navigate to the KYV section or vehicle verification option.
Provide required documents, such as:
Vehicle Registration Certificate (RC)
Owner’s ID proof
Upload documents and submit for verification.
Once verified, your FASTag status will be updated, allowing normal toll passage.
4. Rules and Guidelines for Users
- KYV is mandatory for all vehicles with FASTag.
- Vehicle owners must ensure accurate and updated documents.
- Only the registered owner can complete the KYV process.
- Partial or incorrect submissions may lead to temporary suspension of FASTag privileges.
5. Consequences of Not Completing KYV
- FASTag may be deactivated, leading to manual toll collection at plazas.
- Penalties may apply for non-compliance, depending on toll plaza rules.
- Delays and inconvenience during highway travel can occur if the vehicle is not verified.
✅ Bottom Line: KYV in FASTag is a security and verification measure to ensure smooth toll operations and protect users from fraud. Completing KYV on time avoids penalties and travel disruptions.
