FASTag Annual Pass: If you also travel frequently on the National Highway and Expressway, then this news is no less than a boon for you. Now you are going to get freedom from the hassle of paying money and recharging FASTag repeatedly at the toll plaza. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is soon going to launch the ‘Annual FASTag Pass’ across the country. This pass will prove to be very beneficial for all those travellers who pass through toll plazas several times a year. With this pass, you will be able to make 200 toll-free trips in a year.

‘Annual FASTag Pass’ listed on the NHAI website

Even before the introduction of the ‘Annual FASTag Pass’ in the country, it has been listed on the official website of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). This shows that the government is committed to starting this facility as soon as possible. According to the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, this pass will be implemented across the country from August 15, 2025.

Will be activated in just 2 hours

Pre-booking for the ‘Annual FASTag Pass’ is going to start soon! According to the information received, its pre-booking can start from July 1, 2025. For this, a separate link has been issued on the NHAI website and Highway Travel App. Through this link, you can book your pass. This pass will be activated within just two hours of booking, making your journey even more convenient.

The facility will be available on existing FASTag only

The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has made it clear that for this ‘Annual FASTag Pass’ you will not need to get a separate FASTag. This facility will be added to your existing FASTag. This means that you will not have the trouble of buying or replacing any new device. This step will make the process even simpler for the passengers.

200 toll-free trips in a year

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has announced that the facility of ‘Annual FASTag Pass’ will be started across the country from August 15, 2025. After this pass is activated, you will get a chance to make 200 trips (toll-free trips) every year, or this pass will remain valid for one year, whichever is completed first.

Who will get the most benefit

This new pass will be most beneficial for those who use National Highways and Expressways several times a year. In the current system, such travellers have to recharge Fastag every time and pay toll tax every time they pass through the toll booth.

But after the new system is implemented you will have to recharge only once. You will be able to use National Highways and Expressways throughout the year without any additional charge. This is a big relief for daily commuters, commercial vehicles, and frequent travellers, whose travel costs will be reduced significantly.

Note: This facility will not be available on State Highways.
