NHAI Advises Paytm FASTag Users to Obtain New FASTag from Another Bank Amid Crisis

In light of the ongoing crisis surrounding Paytm, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has issued guidance to Paytm FASTag users, urging them to acquire a new FASTag from another bank before March 15. Following this date, Paytm FASTag users will no longer be able to recharge or top-up their balances, although they can continue using their existing balance for toll payments. NHAI emphasized the importance of obtaining a new FASTag to avoid penalties or double fee charges while traveling on National Highways.
