FASTag Annual Pass To Launch On August 15: Benefits, Price, And More

National Highway Authority of India is set to introduce the FASTag annual pass in the country, effective from 15th August 2025. The annual pass is being introduced to reduce congestion, wait time, and to support an easier and seamless travel across the highways. Unlike the current FASTag system, the annual FASTag will allow a prepaid plan of up to 200 trips (toll crossings) or one year validity, whichever comes first.

It must be noted that the FASTag annual pass is only valid for private non-commercial automobiles, jeeps, and vans as determined by the VAHAN database, and will work only on national highways and expressways managed by NHAI or the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH.

FASTag Annual Pass: Benefits

As mentioned earlier, the FASTag Annual pass will allow up to 200 toll crossings or one year's validity (whichever comes first). This will reduce the user's stress for frequent transactions.

Like the current FASTag system, the annual pass will also feature contactless transactions, allowing commuters to pay without longer halts.

The existing FASTag users need not get a new FASTag and just need to update it to the annual subscription. This will help them to be eligible for the new norms without hassle.

The FASTag annual pass will cost Rs 3,000 only, and users can make the transaction through multiple payment options like credit cards, UPI, or net banking. Also, when the validity or the toll limit expires, users can then recharge their annual pass in the same way as the current FASTag.

FASTag Annual Pass: How To Buy?

The FASTag Annual Pass will launch on 15th August 2025 as an optional service. Users preferring the existing FASTag system must continue paying under the current scheme and will retain associated benefits.

However, users who wish to get the FASTag annual pass need to visit the Rajmarg Yatra app or the NHAI/MoRTH website using their vehicle number and FASTag ID. Users must ensure that their FASTag is active, attached properly, and is linked to the registered vehicle ID. After following the instructions and filling in details, users will then have to initiate a Rs 3,000 transaction and await confirmation. After the confirmation, the FASTag annual pass will be ready to use with immediate effect.
