FASTag KYC and Status Guide: Safe Ways to Resolve Issues

Quick answer

FASTag KYC or status problems should be resolved with the issuing bank or authorised issuer, because the tag, wallet and vehicle mapping belong to that provider. First identify the issuer and exact status; do not upload identity documents to links received from an unknown caller.
