FASTag Annual Pass 2025: Hassle-Free Toll Payments with Unlimited Travel

From August 15, 2025, the Indian government will launch the FASTag Annual Pass, revolutionizing the way frequent travelers pay tolls on national highways. Priced at ₹3,000, this pass offers seamless access for private vehicle owners, enabling up to 200 toll-free crossings or a full year of travel, whichever comes first. If you often travel on expressways or highways, the new FASTag Annual Pass promises convenience, substantial cost savings, and faster commutes.

What is the FASTag Annual Pass?

The FASTag Annual Pass is a prepaid, RFID-based toll payment system integrated with your existing FASTag account. Unlike traditional toll payments where you recharge based on-trip or distance, this pass allows unlimited toll crossings up to 200 trips or valid for one year. It is designed specifically for private vehicles like cars, jeeps, and vans and excludes commercial vehicles such as trucks or buses.

How Does It Work?

You pay a fixed fee of ₹3,000 upfront.
The pass is linked to your existing FASTag RFID tag on your vehicle windshield.
You can pass through toll plazas on national highways and expressways without paying toll charges each time until the pass expires or 200 trips are made.
The pass is non-transferable and exclusive to private vehicles.
The system runs on the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) platform ensuring smooth, automated toll deductions.

Benefits of the FASTag Annual Pass

Simplified Travel: Avoid repeated toll balance recharges and delays at toll booths.
Cost Savings: Regular users who pay ₹50 to ₹120 per toll can save thousands annually.
Convenience: No need to keep track of individual toll charges for every trip.
Validity: One year of unlimited travel up to 200 toll crossings.
Easy Activation: Activate online through the official Rajmarg Yatra App or NHAI website.

Who Can Get the FASTag Annual Pass?

Applicable only for private non-commercial light motor vehicles (cars, jeeps, vans).
Your vehicle must have an active and linked FASTag.
Not valid for commercial vehicles like trucks, buses, and taxis.
Must be registered with a valid vehicle registration number and not blacklisted.

How to Apply and Activate Your FASTag Annual Pass?

Ensure you have an active FASTag linked to your vehicle.
Visit the official NHAI FASTag website or download the Rajmarg Yatra App from August 15, 2025.
Enter vehicle and FASTag details for verification.
Pay the ₹3,000 fee via multiple digital payment options (UPI, credit/debit cards, net banking).
Receive confirmation and wait for pass activation—usually within 2 hours of payment.
Travel freely on national highways and expressways once activated.

Important Usage Details

In a closed-loop toll system, a round trip through the same toll plaza counts as only one crossing.
Point-to-point toll plazas count separately for each crossing.
After 200 toll trips or expiry of one year, normal toll charges apply until you renew.
Annual pass holders still need to keep their FASTag balance updated for other fees and fines.
