How Does FASTag Annual Pass Work? Everything You Need To Know About Validity, Fee Plazas And Benefits News24 –


FASTag Annual Pass: Launched by the National Highway Authority of India on August 15, 2025, the FASTag annual pass has received an impressive response across the country. The pass aims to enhance the travel experience, by allowing users to make up to 200 toll-free crossings annually, eliminating the need to pay regular per-trip toll charges. This budget-friendly option has been especially appreciated by frequent travellers, offering both time and fuel savings.

With this pass, owners of private cars, jeeps, and vans can travel through designated National Highway (NH) and National Expressway (NE) fee plazas without paying per-crossing user charges. It is valid for one year or up to 200 crossings.

How Can The Annual Pass Be Activated?

There are only two options to activate the FASTag annual pass, which is through the Rajmargyatra mobile application and NHAI website.

Fee Plazas Covered Under FASTag Annual Pass

The FASTag annual pass is only valid at National Highway (NH) and National Expressway (NE) fee plazas. It is important to note that at fee plazas on Expressways, State Highways (SH), etc. managed by State Governments or local bodies, the FASTag will operate as a regular FASTag, and applicable user fee charges may apply.

Validity Of FASTag Annual Pass

The Annual Pass is valid for one year from the date of activation or 200 transactions (crossings), whichever comes first. Once the Annual Pass completes either 200 crossings or one year from the date of activation, it will automatically revert to a regular FASTag. If a user wants to continue availing the annual pass benefits, he will need to re-activate the Annual Pass.

Is Annual Pass Available For All Vehicle Types?

The FASTag annual Pass is applicable only for private non-commercial Car, Jeep or Van. Notably, use in any commercial vehicle will result in immediate deactivation without notice.
