FASTag Annual Toll Pass: The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Friday rolled out an annual highway toll pass for Rs 3,000 for private
cars, jeeps, and vans. Ahead of the roll out, the government on Thursday opened the pre-booking window for the passes that allow users to cross up to 200 highway toll booths on a single recharge of Rs 3,000 within a year.
What is the FASTag annual pass?
A prepaid toll plan for non commercial private vehicles (cars, jeeps, vans). It allows up to 200 toll crossings on national highways (NH) and national expressways (NE), or valid for one year, whichever comes first, for a flat fee of Rs 3,000.
FASTag– the electronic toll collection system – uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to automatically deduct toll charges from a prepaid account linked to the vehicle. Over 10.1 crore FASTags were issued till December 1, 2024, according to the road transport ministry’s 2024 year-end review.

What constitutes a trip?
In closed tolling highways such as Delhi-Mumbai Expressway – where toll collection occurs exclusively at exit points – a single trip includes both entry and exit points. On the other hand, on open tolling routes like Delhi-Chandigarh, each toll plaza crossing would constitute a separate trip.
What if I have a FASTag on my vehicle already?
According to the MoRTH, those who already have a FASTag on their vehicles will not need to purchase a new FASTag.
How to activate the FASTag annual pass?
Done via the Rajmarg Yatra mobile app or the NHAI (MoRTH) website.
You need to log in with your vehicle number and FASTag ID, pay ₹3,000 online, and once verified, the pass is activated—typically within 2 hours, occasionally up to 24 hours.
Who is eligible?
Only private non-commercial vehicles with an active FASTag, correctly affixed and linked to a valid vehicle registration number (VRN), not blacklisted.
Who is not eligible for the pass?
You will not be able to obtain the pass if your FASTag is registered using the chassis number. For this, you will have to update the Vehicle Registration Number (VRN). Also, the mobile number should be updated.
How will you keep track of the number of trips?
You’ll receive an SMS confirmation after activation, including trip usage alerts.
What are the limitations of the facility?
Valid only at toll plazas on national highways and expressways operated by NHAI/MoRTH.
Not valid on state highways, municipal roads, private or state-run expressways—there, FASTag reverts to standard pay-per-use.
The pass is permanently linked to that specific vehicle’s FASTag. Transferring it to another vehicle will lead to immediate deactivation.
No refund if you don’t fully use the 200 trips before the year ends.
This Independence Day, experience true freedom on National Highways and National Expressways!
