When you pass through a toll plaza with a FASTag, the system automatically deducts the toll charges from your FASTag account without the need to stop. However, if you're selling your vehicle or transferring its ownership, it's crucial to deactivate your FASTag to avoid continued toll charges and ensure a smooth transition for the new owner.

Why Deactivate Your FASTag Account?

Deactivating your FASTag account is important for several reasons. Firstly, if you don't deactivate it when selling your vehicle, the new owner may continue to be charged for toll payments made using the FASTag linked to your account. Additionally, each FASTag is specifically linked to a vehicle, so the new owner won't be able to obtain a new FASTag for the same vehicle until yours is deactivated.

How to Close a FASTag Account?

The simplest way to deactivate your FASTag is by contacting the FASTag provider's customer care and requesting the closure or deactivation of your FASTag linked account. You can also reach out to the helpline launched by the National Highways Authority of India for FASTag-related concerns by dialing 1033.
