The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has removed Paytm from the list of authorised banks to issue new FASTags. People must note down that they can no longer buy a FASTag using a Paytm. Instead, they should go for the 32 banks which have been approved valid by the NHAI for FASTag purchases. According to reports, NHAI has announced that people who have Paytm FASTags should surrender them and get new ones for uninterrupted travel.

People must remember that the Paytm FASTags will become non-functional from 29 February 2024. Some of the banks that have been declared authorised for FASTag purchase are State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Airtel Payments Bank, and more.

The Reserve Bank issued an order on 31 January directing Paytm Payments Bank (PPBL) to cease taking deposits or top-ups in any client wallets, FASTags, accounts, or other devices on or after 29 February. Until the amount is available, customers may utilise the balance from other accounts, such as savings bank accounts, current accounts, prepaid goods, FASTag, and National Common Mobility Card. Customers may, however, request a refund, cashback, or interest at any time.

According to an official statement released by the Central Bank, "The direction followed persistent non-compliances and continued material supervisory concerns." As per IHMCL, the FASTag users must diligently follow the RBI guidelines and complete the 'Know Your Customer (KYC) process for their latest FASTag.
