Non-Standard neutral current Interactions (NSIs) of neutrinos with matter can alter the pattern neutrino oscillation due to coherent forward scattering on medium. This effect makes long-baseline experiments such as NO$\nu$A and DUNE a sensitive probe beyond standard model (BSM) physics. We construct light mediator models that give rise both lepton flavor conserving well Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) NSI. outline present phenomenological viability these future prospects test them. predict lower bound Br$(H\to \mu \tau)$ in terms parameters be measured by NO$\nu$A, show hint for $H\to \tau$ LHC data accommodated our model. A large part parameter space is already constrained bounds Br$(\tau \to Z^\prime \mu)$ rare meson decays principle fully tested improving bounds.
