From August 15, 2025, the government has introduced a FASTag-based Annual Pass for non-commercial private vehicles, priced at ₹3,000. Valid for either 200 trips or one year, whichever comes first, the pass aims to streamline toll payments and reduce congestion at national highway toll plazas. Using the Rajmargyatra mobile app, eligible vehicle owners can purchase and activate the pass in just a few minutes through a simple online process.

Steps to purchase the Annual Pass
1. Open the app and locate Annual Pass option
On the Rajmargyatra home screen, tap the “Annual Pass” option under the Toll Road Information section.

Enter the Vehicle Registration Number exactly as it appears on the RC.
The app will display the vehicle class, FASTag status, issuing bank, and FASTag ID.
If eligible, select “Validate” to proceed.
3. Confirm mobile number and enter OTP
Choose to use the account’s registered number or a different one.
Tap “Proceed,” then enter the OTP sent to the selected number.

The pass card will display the available toll crossings, activation date, and current status.
Tick the box confirming your VRN and acceptance of the terms.

Select “Proceed to Payment.”
Choose from UPI, cards, or net banking.
Confirm the payable amount of ₹3,000 and complete the transaction.
6. Wait for activation
The pass is typically activated within 60 minutes.
You will receive an SMS notification once it’s active, after which each trip will count toward the 200-trip quota instead of deducting per-trip toll charges.
Important things to note
Ensure the FASTag is mounted and functional before making the purchase.
Verify that the VRN and vehicle category shown in the eligibility check are correct.
Keep a small balance in the FASTag to avoid activation delays or blacklisting.
