The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has directed all FASTag issuer banks to immediately validate vehicle registration numbers (VRNs) linked to FASTags to address data inconsistencies in the electronic toll collection system. The move follows complaints of mismatches between FASTag-captured VRNs and actual vehicle number plates, raising concerns over enforcement gaps and potential revenue leakage.
