Options after deactivation:
If one's FASTag has been deactivated, there is no other way to activate it except by completing KYC. After completing KYC, you will have to apply for a new Fastag. For this, you can contact the authorized centers of NHAI or your bank. You can also buy Fastag from centers near toll plazas, although this may take some time.
