What is the Annual Toll Pass?
The Annual Toll Pass is a digital pass that allows you up to 200 free trips on a specific route in a year. So, if you regularly travel on the same highway route, you will no longer need to pay toll charges via FASTag every time. This facility will be especially beneficial for school buses, public transport vehicles, regular commuters, and commercial vehicles.
This scheme will be implemented nationwide starting August 15, 2025, and is expected to bring financial relief to millions of drivers.
