🏁 NHAI Simplifies Know Your Vehicle (KYV) Process for FASTag Users – All You Need to Know
NHAI Simplifies KYV Process for FASTag Users in 2025
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has simplified the Know Your Vehicle (KYV) process for FASTag users to make toll payments smoother and prevent misuse of tags. This update brings much-needed relief to vehicle owners, who previously faced difficulties in completing KYV verification due to lengthy documentation and multiple uploads.
The new KYV rules are aligned with NHAI’s “One Vehicle, One FASTag (OVOT)” policy, which ensures that every vehicle is linked to a single, verified tag — helping reduce toll frauds and duplicate tag issues.
What is the KYV Process in FASTag?
Meaning of KYV
KYV or Know Your Vehicle is a verification process that ensures the FASTag is used only by the vehicle it is issued for. It helps NHAI identify fraudulent activities, such as using one FASTag across multiple vehicles or using mismatched tags for different categories.
Why KYV Was Introduced
Before the introduction of KYV, many users were exploiting the system by linking one tag to multiple vehicles or vehicles of higher toll classes. To tackle this, NHAI introduced Kya in 2023, ensuring proper vehicle-tag mapping across India’s toll network.

What’s New in the Simplified KYV Process (2025 Update)
NHAI has announced several user-friendly improvements to the KYV process in 2025.
✅ 1. Only One Image Required – Users now need to upload only a front-facing photo of their vehicle showing the number plate and FASTag. Earlier, both front and side images were mandatory.
✅ 2. Auto-Fetching RC Details – The system now automatically fetches registration certificate (RC) details from the government database, reducing manual data entry errors.
✅ 3. No Immediate FASTag Suspension – Non-verified tags will not be suspended immediately. Users will receive alerts and reminders to complete the process.
✅ 4. Seamless Integration with OVOT – The simplified KYV works under the One Vehicle One Tag policy, ensuring every vehicle has only one active FASTag.
