About Bajaj Pay FASTag
Bajaj FASTag is an electronic toll collection system that provides a convenient and efficient way to pay toll charges on FASTag enabled toll plazas on highways across India. If you no longer wish to use your Bajaj Pay FASTag or need to close your FASTag account for any reason, BFL offers a straightforward process to initiate the closure.
What are the reasons to deactivate FASTag
There are various reasons why someone might want to deactivate their FASTag. Here are some common scenarios:
- Selling or transferring vehicle ownership: When you sell your vehicle, the FASTag linked to your account is associated with that vehicle's registration number. To ensure that the new owner does not incur toll charges on your account, it is advisable to deactivate the FASTag.
- Lost or stolen vehicle: If your vehicle is stolen, deactivating the FASTag will prevent unauthorised use of the tag for toll payments.
- Issues with FASTag functionality: Persistent problems with the functioning of the FASTag, such as frequent malfunctions, incorrect deductions, or lack of service, may lead you to deactivate it and opt for a replacement.
- Misuse or fraud prevention: If you notice unauthorised transactions or suspect that your FASTag has been cloned or compromised, deactivating it can prevent further misuse.
- Incorrect linking of FASTag: If the FASTag was accidentally linked to the wrong vehicle or account, it may need to be deactivated and correctly reissued.
