From 1 April 2024, the National Highways Authority of India's 'One Vehicle, One FASTag' norm is effective. It aims to discourage the use of a single FASTag for multiple vehicles or linking multiple FASTags to a particular vehicle.
NHAI had extended the 'One Vehicle, One FASTag' initiative compliance deadline to March-end, given the problems being faced by Paytm FASTag users.
The basic principle of One Vehicle One FASTags is that each vehicle is associated with a single active FASTag. The directive comes subsequently to RBI's stringent action against Paytm Payment Bank which was not included in the list of NHAI FASTag issuing list. This will mitigate the instances of non-adherence to RBI's KYC norms and multiple FASTags issuance of vehicles.
