See a dirty toilet on highway? Click, report and earn Rs 1,000 FASTag credit

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has rolled out a cleanliness drive in which highway users will now be able to earn a Rs 1,000 FASTag recharge by reporting unclean toilets at toll plazas along national highways.

The scheme will be valid till October 31, 2025, news agency PTI reported.

How it works?

- Users must report via the latest version of the Rajmargyatra app, submitting geo-tagged, time-stamped photos of the dirty toilet along with their name, vehicle registration number (VRN), location, and mobile number.

- Once verified, Rs 1,000 will be credited to the FASTag account linked to the reported VRN.

- The reward is non-transferable and cannot be redeemed in cash.

- The initiative will continue till October 31, 2025 on all National Highways across the country. Each VRN can claim the reward only once during the period.

What are the terms & conditions?

- The scheme applies only to toilets that are constructed, operated, or maintained under NHAI jurisdiction. Facilities at dhabas, petrol pumps, or other public units not managed by NHAI are excluded.

- Each VRN can claim the reward only once during the entire campaign period.

- Each toilet facility is eligible for a reward once per day. If multiple reports for the same toilet arrive on the same day, only the first valid one is considered.

- Photos must be clear, geo-tagged, time-stamped, and taken via the app. Manipulated, duplicate, or previously submitted images will be rejected.

- The entries will be screened using AI and, where needed, manual verification.

- The drive covers all national highways across India, but only for toilets under NHAI’s oversight.
