There are various reasons why you 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.
- 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.
