The FASTag Annual Pass ₹3000 is a prepaid toll payment option available at select toll plazas, primarily designed for frequent travelers or commercial vehicles. By paying ₹3000 upfront, users can make trip for 1 year or a fixed 200 trips through toll plaza for a full year. This pass is linked to the vehicle’s FASTag and allows seamless travel without repeated deductions from the wallet. It helps save time at toll booths by enabling access through dedicated FASTag lanes. The availability, terms, and coverage vary by toll location and operator. Users must ensure their FASTag remains active and valid.
Note This scheme will not cover State built Highways Like Agra Expressway.
What is FASTag?
FASTag is an electronic toll collection system in India, developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and operated by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). It uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to enable automatic toll payments at toll plazas. The FASTag is a sticker placed on a vehicle’s windshield and is linked to a prepaid account or bank wallet. When the vehicle passes through a toll booth, the system scans the tag and deducts the toll fee automatically. This reduces waiting time, minimizes fuel consumption, and helps streamline traffic flow on national highways.
FASTag-based Annual Pass launching on August 15, 2025
India’s new FASTag Annual Pass launches on August 15, 2025, exclusively for private vehicles, priced at ₹3,000. It grants either one year of coverage or 200 highway trips, whichever comes first. The pass integrates seamlessly with your existing FASTag—no extra tags or documents required—and must be activated via platforms like the Rajmarg Yatra app, NHAI, or MoRTH websites.
Designed to simplify toll payments, it reduces time at toll booths using dedicated FASTag lanes and eliminates per-trip deductions. Expert estimates suggest it could save users up to ₹7,000 annually.
This option offers better value than monthly passes, which cost ₹340 per month and are limited to a single toll plaza—totaling ₹4,080 yearly
