FASTag Annual Pass Gains Traction as Coverage Limits Are Clarified

Priced at ₹3,000, the pass covers up to 200 trips at NHAI-managed plazas, leaving state and privately run routes to regular FASTag billing.

Overview

  • Recent guides list major exclusions, with examples including the Yamuna, AgraLucknow, Purvanchal, Bundelkhand and MumbaiPune expressways, the Bandra–Worli Sea Link, Samruddhi Mahamarg and Goa’s Atal Setu.
  • The pass is active for either 200 toll crossings or one year from purchase, with one-way point-plaza trips counting as one and closed systems counting an entry-to-exit journey as one.
  • A Team-BHP user reported mostly zero deductions on a PuneKerala drive under the pass, noting one plaza near Dharwad that did not accept FASTag and charged ₹55 in cash.
  • Eligibility is limited to private, non-commercial vehicles with a valid registration, and the benefit is non-transferable and linked to a specific FASTag.
  • NHAI’s offering is live via the Rajmarg Yatra app and official portals, with early adoption reported in large numbers following the August 15 launch.
