Step-by-Step Guide for Hassle-Free Highway Travel
If you regularly use FasTag for toll payments on indian highways, there’s an important update. KYV (Know Your Vehicle) verification is now mandatory to keep your Fastag active, in addition to KYC. Here’s what you need to know.
📌 1. What is KYV?
· KYV (Know Your Vehicle) is a verification process to confirm vehicle ownership and details linked to your FasTag.
· It ensures that FasTag is linked to the correct vehicle, preventing misuse or fraud.
· Both private and commercial vehicle owners must complete KYV to avoid FasTag deactivation.
💼 2. Why KYV is Important
· Mandatory for FasTag activation: Without KYV, toll payments may fail, and fines may apply.
· Prevents fraud: Ensures your Fastag isn’t misused by someone else.
· Streamlines toll collection: Faster verification at toll plazas.
