If you often go on a long journey from a car in India, then you will definitely know the hassle of repeated toll plazas and fastag recharge on the National Highway. This is a common process to check the balance of Fastag before every trip, recharge it when low, and to deduct money on every toll. But now, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has taken a revolutionary step to eliminate this mess forever.
Nhai ‘Fastag Annual Pass’ Has launched, which is no less than a boon for people traveling on the highway. This is a scheme in which you just have to pay once and then you can travel unlimited on the national highway of the country throughout the year. The popularity of this scheme can be gauged from the fact that more than 1 lakh 40 thousand people applied for this pass within just one day of launch!
So let’s know in detail what this fastag is an annual pass, how it works, and how beneficial it can prove to be for you.
What is fastag anuel pass? (What is fastag annual pass?)
You can consider it a ‘season ticket’ or ‘unlimited pass’ of the highway. Just as you make a monthly pass for a metro or local train, in the same way an ‘annual pass’ has come to travel on the National Highway. After purchasing this pass, you will not have to pay any toll tax at the toll plaza of any National Highway for a year. Your vehicle will pass through the toll plaza without any deduction.
This scheme has been made keeping in mind the people whose car runs several times a month or on the highway almost daily.

This pass is not for everyone, but especially for those who have a lot of visit on the highway. As:
- Commercial Vehicles: Trucks, buses and taxi operators whose business is dependent on the highway.
- Business Travelers: Sales, marketing or other professionals who often have to travel to other cities in connection with work.
- Daily passengers: Those who make up and down for jobs or business daily from one city to another (eg Gurugram/Noida).
- Travel fond: People who like to go on a road trip and make long trips several times a year.

How will it pass and how to get it?

Possibly, users will be able to apply for this annual pass through the portal of their existing fastags or the official website of NHAI. The system will link your vehicle registration number with this nearby. Next, whenever your car passes through a toll plaza, the automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera or RFID scanner will identify your car and the barrier will be opened automatically without cutting any fee.
