The use of Fastag makes the toll collection process easy not only for the users but also for the toll plaza management.
But sometimes the Fastag can cause problems to those who are the registered owners of the vehicle. For example, if you have sold your old car to someone, but you have not removed your Fastag from your vehicle. Also, you don’t have any contact information of the person to whom you have sold the car. In such cases, that person will continue using the Fastag at toll plazas and the money will keep on deducting from your account. If your vehicle is stolen, the Fastag remains installed on it and the thief can also continue paying the toll payments through your Fastag. So to avoid such situations we must deactivate or surrender your Fastag to the bank or other service provider from where you have purchased it.

- Deactivate Fastag through Paytm
