Government Says FASTag Annual Passes Cross One Crore Mark
The government says more than one crore people have received FASTag annual passes.
The scheme began on 15 August 2025.
It is meant for non-commercial vehicles that already have a valid FASTag.
The pass costs ₹3,075 in one payment.
It can be used for one year or 200 toll crossings, whichever happens first.
It works at about 1,150 National Highway and National Expressway toll plazas.
The pass is added to the vehicle’s existing FASTag after payment.
Drivers can buy it through the Rajmargyatra app or the National Highways Authority of India website.
Tolls at state-run or locally managed plazas are still paid from the normal FASTag balance.
More than one crore FASTag annual passes have been issued since the scheme launched on 15 August 2025.
The pass costs ₹3,075 and remains valid for one year or 200 toll-plaza crossings, whichever comes first.
It is available for non-commercial vehicles with a valid FASTag and activates on the existing tag after payment.

Tolls and parking charges at plazas managed by state governments or local bodies continue to be deducted from the FASTag wallet.
