The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways issued a Gazette Notification on Thursday, according to which all four wheel motor vehicles sold on or after 1st December 2017 will have FASTags fitted on them by the manufacturer of the vehicle or its authorised dealer, as the case may be.
In case of vehicles sold as drive away chassis without wind screen, FASTag will have to be fitted by the vehicle owner before it is registered. Necessary amendments have been made to the relevant sections of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 in this regard, the Notification said.
