Why is closing a FASTag account important when you sell the car?
In case you have sold or transferred your vehicle, you should get the FASTag deactivated/closed immediately as the Toll payment will continue to be deducted from the source account to which the FASTag is linked. Till you close your FASTag account, the new buyer of your car will also not be able to get a new FASTag issued for the car as only one active FASTag can be linked to a particular vehicle.
How to close a FASTag linked account?
Various service providers have different procedures for the deactivation or the closure of the FASTag linked account or e-wallet. One of the most common ways can be reaching out to the Customer Support of your FASTag provider and raise a request for the closure/deactivation of the FASTag linked account. MoRTH/NHAI/IHMCL has launched a helpline number 1033 for addressing FASTag complaints- Customers can simply dial 1033 for any FASTag related concerns.
