FASTag Annual Pass: How To Activate It on Your Existing Account

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) will roll out the FASTag Annual Pass for private vehicles starting August 15, 2025. Priced at ₹3,000, the pass offers one year or 200 trips (whichever comes first) of toll-free access on selected National Highways and Expressways. The initiative is aimed at frequent commuters to make highway travel more convenient and cost-effective.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari announced the plan via a post on X (formerly Twitter), adding that activation and renewal will be made available on the RajmargYatra App, the NHAI website, and the official MoRTH portal.

What Is the FASTag Annual Pass?

The FASTag Annual Pass allows cars, jeeps, and vans to travel free of charge at designated NH and NE toll plazas. Once active, no individual toll fees are deducted for up to 200 trips or one calendar year-whichever limit is reached first.

How to Activate the FASTag Annual Pass

If you already have an active FASTag:

No new tag is needed.

The tag must be linked to a valid registration number and correctly placed on your vehicle's windshield.

Simply log into the RajmargYatra App or NHAI official website, verify your details, and pay the ₹3,000 fee to activate the pass.

Where to Buy the Annual Pass

You can purchase the pass only through the:

RajmargYatra mobile app

NHAI official website

Avoid third-party platforms to prevent fraud and ensure eligibility.

Validity and Usage of the FASTag Annual Pass

The pass is valid for one year from the activation date or 200 toll trips, whichever comes first.

After expiration, your FASTag will automatically revert to standard pay-per-use mode.

You can reactivate the annual pass later by paying the renewal fee.

What Constitutes One Trip?

Point-based toll plazas: One-way travel = 1 trip; Round trip = 2 trips

Closed-loop toll plazas: Entry and exit combined = 1 trip

Will I Get SMS Alerts?

Yes. Upon activation, you authorize RajmargYatra to retrieve your mobile number from the issuing bank for SMS alerts, renewal reminders, and other pass-related notifications.
