NHAI Adds FASTag Annual Pass Gifting in Rajmargyatra App

NHAI enabled gifting of the annual pass in Rajmargyatra using an OTP-based Add Pass flow.

Overview

  • Users select Add Pass in the app, enter the recipient’s vehicle number and contact details, then confirm via OTP to activate the pass on that vehicle’s FASTag.
  • A one-time ₹3,000 payment grants one year of use or 200 crossings, with acceptance at about 1,150 toll plazas for private non-commercial vehicles.
  • Activation typically completes within two hours, and once the limit is reached the FASTag automatically returns to pay-per-trip; trip counting differs between point and closed ticketed systems.
  • Payment must be made through UPI, debit or credit cards, or net banking, as FASTag wallet balances are not eligible for purchasing the pass.
  • Officials cite over 25 lakh users and roughly 5.67 crore transactions since the August 15 launch, noting validity only at National Highway and National Expressway fee plazas and advising chassis-only FASTags be updated with full registration details.
