The Government of India has made it mandatory to conduct a Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure to avail services of the Fastag service. It is necessary to know that what are the changes made by the government and how this will affect you? Read on to find out more about KYC of Fastag service and how the procedure works in different states.
What is Know Your Customer (KYC)?
With KYC, banks are required to verify and confirm a customer’s identity before accepting deposits or transferring money. The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) issues guidelines for banks on how they should comply with Know Your Customer norms. Banks, being regulated entities, follow these guidelines rigorously. It is important that any person opening an account with a bank in India submits his or her documents for verification. Banks must adhere to these norms as part of their service license conditions. In other words, it is a formality that has been included in banking procedures.
Complete the KYC process online
The way it works is that once a customer completes a toll transaction, his e-KYC information will be stored in NHAI’s central database. Then, when he tries to travel with another agency using e-tag or URC, NHAI will verify his credentials with other agencies through SIDB. If NHAI finds that he has complete details in some other e-TAG agency’s database (and hasn’t violated any rules), then it can accept him as a bonafide customer; otherwise, it can reject him outright. But if he has completed only limited documentation with one or two agencies, but is waiting for completion of all documentation in others; then their databases will temporarily place him on hold.

If your out-of-state license or ID has been expired longer than one year, it is invalid in Iowa. Use our online Status Checker to confirm your ID will be valid and check if it will meet state requirements as part of our RealID program. If it does not meet RealID requirements, then you must apply for a new license after your residency status changes.
