The FASTag Annual Pass allows for 200 trips on national highways at a flat annual rate of 3,000. This translates to 15 per trip.

The government previously revealed that around 1.4 lakh users purchased the FASTag Annual Pass till 7.00 pm on August 15, 2025. About 1.39 lakh transactions were recorded on toll plazas.

MoRTH further revealed that the Rajmargyatra app, which facilitates the purchase of the FASTag Annual Pass, saw over 15 lakh downloads in the last few days and has moved up to second place in the travel category on the Google Play Store. Moreover, it is currently the top-ranking government app.

The FASTag Annual Pass allows seamless travel on the national highways. The annual pass is applicable at about 1,150 toll plazas on national highways and national expressways, but does not work on state highways and expressways. The pass eliminates the need to frequently charge your FASTag, while the flat cost of 3,000 per annum for 200 toll plaza crossings makes it more cost-effective as well. The annual pass is only for private car owners, and not available for commercial vehicles.
