FASTag must for cars sold after December 1

“Categories M and N motor vehicles sold on and after December 1, 2017 shall be fitted with FASTag as may be specified by the Central government, from time to time, by the manufacturer of the vehicle or its authorised dealer as the case may be,” said a notification issued by the Road Transport and Highways Ministry. 

The notification added that if any vehicle is sold in the form of drive-away-chassis without windscreen, then FASTag should be fitted on the windscreen by the vehicle owner before the registration of the vehicle. 

The National Highways Authority of India, had in September, operationalised one dedicated FASTag lane at all toll plazas on National Highways. The authority had launched two mobile applications for ease of obtaining FASTags as well. The FASTag is available both online and offline through banks and common service centres.
