FASTag Annual Pass available from August 15: Who is eligible, how to get it

FASTag, India's electronic toll collection system, will soon offer a more convenient, once-a-year annual pass for users. The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways announced last week that it was rolling out a FASTag Annual Pass to enable hassle-free travel on Indian highways. The annual pass will cost Rs 3,000 and will become available for purchase from August 15 this year. This pass is only valid for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans. It will allow commuters to travel toll-free for 200 trips or one year from the date on which the pass is activated, whichever comes first. In addition, the annual FASTag pass will only work at toll plazas that are operated by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). This means holders of the annual pass will still need to pay toll on state highways, private-run toll roads, and state-run expressways. The FASTag annual pass is primarily aimed at frequent commuters, and is expected to reduce congestion at toll plazas while saving costs for long-distance highway travellers. It is part of the Indian government's broader efforts to modernise road infrastructure in the country while enhancing user convenience on the national highway grid. 'By reducing wait times, easing congestion, and minimizing disputes at toll plazas, the Annual Pass aims to deliver a faster and smoother travel experience for millions of private vehicle owners,' Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said in a post on X. Important Announcement 📢 🔹In a transformative step towards hassle-free highway travel, we are introducing a FASTag-based Annual Pass priced at ₹3,000, effective from 15th August 2025. Valid for one year from the date of activation or up to 200 trips—whichever comes… — Nitin Gadkari (@nitin_gadkari) June 18, 2025 Here is a step-by-step guide to purchasing and activating the FASTag annual pass. The annual pass will be available for purchase from August 15, 2025, onwards through the Rajmarg Yatra mobile application and on the official websites of the NHAI as well as the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). Do not use third-party websites and portals to purchase the annual pass in order to avoid being scammed. Keep these points in mind while availing the FASTag annual pass: – The vehicle must be a non-commercial, personal vehicle like a car or jeep. – It should already have an active FASTag plastered on the windshield of the vehicle. – The FASTag of the vehicle should be linked to a valid Vehicle Registration Number (VRN). – It should not be blacklisted or under dispute. Commuters also need to remember that each annual FASTag pass will be attached to a particular vehicle and cannot be transferred to other vehicles. Follow the simple steps mentioned below to activate your FASTag annual pass. – First, ensure that your FASTag is active, installed, and linked to a valid VRN. – Visit the Rajmarg Yatra mobile app or official NHAI website. – Enter vehicle details such as your registration number and FASTag ID. – Choose one of the payment options to make a single-time payment of Rs 3,000. – The annual pass will be activated once the transaction is successful. – You will also receive an SMS confirmation on your FASTag registered mobile number. To be sure, the FASTag annual pass is voluntary meaning that users who do not travel so much can continue using FASTag in the existing pay-per-user mode. However, if you travel long distances every day to-and-fro work or school, then the annual pass could offer some cost saving and convenience benefits. A user on LinkedIn did the math and figured out that high-frequency commuters could potentially end up saving Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 in toll fees, assuming that they take 50 trips a year or roughly one trip per week. But how do you define a trip? Trips are counted based on the type of toll system. In open or point-based toll plazas, one-way toll crossings are equivalent to one toll systems, on the other hand, count entry-to-exit as one full trip.

FASTag annual pass at Rs 3,000: Check out the rules, date, who can apply, and much more

FASTag annual pass: From August 15, 2025, a revolutionary FASTag annual pass priced at ₹3,000 will transform highway travel for private vehicle owners in India. Announced by Nitin Gadkari, this prepaid toll scheme offers up to 200 toll-free trips or one year of unlimited access across National Highways and Expressways. Tailored for cars, jeeps, and vans, the new pass replaces cumbersome monthly top-ups with one seamless payment, promoting cashless travel and reducing congestion at toll plazas. With potential savings of up to 70% compared to regular toll rates, frequent commuters, and long-distance travelers stand to benefit significantly. Ready to streamline your journeys and save money effortlessly? Discover how this pass could redefine your road trips. FASTags annual plan start date Beginning August 15, 2025, the government will offer a new Annual FASTag Pass. You can travel up to 200 miles on national highways without paying additional tolls for just ₹3,000. Rules do apply, though, and every journey is meticulously tallied. What is FASTags annual plan? Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari has launched a new FASTag yearly plan. The new proposal expands on the prior use of the FASTag in several ways. Users can now recharge for at least Rs 3,000 under the new FASTag annual plan, covering 200 trips or a full year, whichever comes first. According to the minister, the new method addresses the "long-standing issues" associated with toll plazas. It is only intended for private non-commercial vehicles like automobiles, jeeps, and vans. Additionally, he promised that the average cost of a toll plaza pass would drop to just Rs 15, saving users at least Rs 7,000 per pass. How does this new system operate? It is scheduled to take effect on August 15, 2025. Let's examine every important aspect of the FASTag yearly strategy. Is FASTags annual plan mandatory? There is no requirement to follow this new FASTag yearly plan. Another plan is to aim for seamless travel and avoid traffic jams at the toll booth. This implies that the FASTag system will not be altered as it currently exists. If they decide not to purchase the Annual Pass, they can still use their FASTag to pay for tolls normally, with fees levied according to the going rates at each toll booth. FASTags annual plan's price As previously stated, the new FASTag yearly plan has a minimum annual cost of Rs 3,000. Upon reaching 200 journeys or a full year of use, whichever occurs first, the pass will automatically return to its normal FASTag functioning. However, drivers can buy a new annual pass immediately if they hit the 200-trip restriction before the year ends. This pass cannot be transferred to another vehicle; it is exclusively associated with the vehicle on which the FASTag is registered. Each crossing is considered a single trip at location-based toll stations, while return trips are recorded as two. One full entry and exit shall be regarded as a single journey in the event of closed toll systems. However, according to a Ministry statement, the pass's cost is subject to change every year, with changes going into effect on April 1. Therefore, beginning with each fiscal year, the minimum pricing will likely rise (or fall). How to activate FASTags annual plan? Only until the vehicle's eligibility and associated FASTag have been confirmed will the pass be activated. After being accepted, the user has to pay Rs 3,000 through the NHAI website or the Rajmargyatra mobile app for the base year 2025–2026. The Annual Pass will be activated on the registered FASTag following payment processing, and the user will get SMS updates regarding the pass. The Annual Pass can be added to an existing FASTag account if it satisfies the requirements, so those who currently have one don't need to purchase a new one. This entails being properly attached to the car's windscreen, being associated with a legitimate registration number, and not being placed on a blacklist. Who can avail FASTag annual pass? Cars, Jeeps, and vans are the non-commercial personal vehicles for which the plan is specifically designed. The vehicle must have a current FASTag to be eligible for the annual pass. The FASTag needs to be properly affixed to the car's windshield. A legitimate Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) should be linked to it. There should be no controversy or blacklisting of the FASTag. To be eligible, users whose FASTag is linked to just a chassis number must update their data with the full VRN. How do you calculate a trip? At toll plazas with a point system: It counts as one trip each time you cross a toll. Traveling somewhere and coming back will be considered two excursions. At closed toll roads (such as highways): One trip is one whole journey (entry to exit). Will you receive alerts via SMS? You will receive vital SMS alerts from the Rajmarg Yatra app using the cellphone number linked to your bank when you activate the pass.

Want Australian citizenship? This visa for top talent may get you there

Are you an athlete, academic, artist or entrepreneur with international recognition in your field? Australia has introduced a new permanent residency visa specifically for individuals like you — those with a track record of outstanding achievement in their area of talent. The National Innovation Visa is invite-only and requires a nomination from someone with a national reputation in your field, such as an Australian citizen, permanent resident, eligible New Zealand citizen or an Australian organisation. New South Wales and South Australia have now published their nomination criteria, offering structured pathways for potential applicants. This new visa is not open to everyone — you must be invited to apply after submitting an expression of interest (EOI). The Australian government has made it clear that it wants people who have already achieved something exceptional on the world stage. It is targeted at people who can support Australia's future economic priorities—such as researchers working on clean energy, athletes at the peak of their careers, or creative professionals with global acclaim. 'To be eligible, applicants must show they've made an internationally recognised contribution in their field,' according to the Department of Home Affairs. You must also have a nominator with a national reputation in your field—this could be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, eligible New Zealand citizen, or Australian organisation.

Innovative investor: For those who've invested large sums and supported business expansion 4. Sports professional: For athletes, coaches, or sports specialists with elite recognition 5.

Global researchers and thought leaders: For academics with published work, patents or keynote speaking roles 2. Entrepreneurs: With a track record in commercialising ideas or scaling high-growth businesses 3. Innovative investors: With a background in supporting or funding innovation 4. Creative talent, including artists and creators with global recognition 5. Other globally talented individuals: Flexible category for exceptional people whose achievements don't fit neatly into the above How to apply You cannot directly apply for this visa. First, you must: Find a nominator with a national reputation in your area Submit an expression of interest (EOI) explaining your achievements Wait for an invitation—only then can you apply Once invited, you must lodge your visa application within 60 days You can apply for this visa whether you're in Australia or overseas, as long as you're not in immigration clearance at the time of application or when the visa is granted.
