This move by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is to prevent misuse of FASTags and make toll collection transparent. KYV aims to link every tag correctly to its respective vehicle and ensure accurate toll categorisation.
What is KYV for FASTag?

In recent times, cases of misuse of Fastag have increased, in which many people have been found using the same tag for multiple vehicles or installing car Fastag on trucks to pay less toll. The KYV process aims to address this issue by correctly linking each Fastag to only one vehicle.
