Overview

  • The pass is available exclusively to private cars, jeeps and vans at MoRTH/NHAI-managed national highway and expressway toll plazas.
  • Motorists can activate it via the Rajmarg Yatra app or NHAI website after linking their existing FASTag to the vehicle registration number and completing KYC within two hours.
  • Each crossing on open-toll corridors and each entry-exit journey on closed-toll expressways counts as one of the 200 prepaid trips; excess usage reverts tags to regular pay-per-trip mode.
  • The one-time ₹3,000 fee is payable by UPI, card or net banking and cannot be drawn from FASTag wallet balances.
  • Nodal officers at over 1,150 plazas and an expanded 1033 helpline with 100 additional executives aim to ensure smooth adoption and address user queries.
