What to do with FASTag when selling a car?
If you have sold or transferred your vehicle, you should deactivate or disable FASTag immediately. If you do not do this, then toll payment will continue to be deducted from the same account. That is, money will continue to be deducted from your account. Actually, toll payment will be deducted from the same source account to which the FASTag account is linked.
Not only this, as long as your FASTag account is linked, then the new owner of your car will also not be able to get a new FASTag for the car. Because only one active FASTag can be linked to a vehicle.
