New Delhi: Enhancing ‘Ease of Commuting’, the FASTag annual pass has received an overwhelming response from the national highway users and has crossed the landmark figure of twenty-five lakh users with around 5.67 crore transactions recorded in the last two months across the country.
Launched on August 15, the FASTag annual pass provides a seamless and economical travel option to the national highway users and is applicable on about 1,150 toll plazas on national highways and national expressways.
The annual pass eliminates the need to frequently recharge FASTag through one-time fee payment of Rs. 3,000 for one year validity or 200 toll plaza crossings. The pass is applicable for all non-commercial vehicles with a valid FASTag. The annual pass gets activated within two hours on the existing FASTag linked to the vehicle after payment of one-time fee payment through Rajmargyatra App or NHAI website.
The annual pass is non-transferable and is valid at national highway (NH) and national expressway (NE) fee plazas. At fee plazas on expressways, state highways (SH) managed by state governments or local bodies, the FASTag will use the existing wallet balance for payments at state highway tolls and parking etc.
The overwhelming response to the FASTag annual pass by the National Highway users underlines NHAI commitment to provide safe, smooth and seamless travel experience on National Highways across the country.
