What counts as a trip

Each crossing of an ordinary toll plaza is one trip, so a return journey through one plaza uses two.
On a closed (ticketed) expressway, one entry and exit together count as one trip. Enter the whole fare as that plaza’s toll.
Only plazas on National Highways and National Expressways count. Roads run by state governments or local bodies charge the normal toll.
Plazas where you already have a local or monthly pass don’t use up trips.

Result

Saving a year: Rs. 15,165

The pass costs Rs. 3,075 for passes bought from 1 April 2026 (it was Rs. 3,000 in 2025-26) and lasts a year or 200 trips, whichever comes first. Above 200 crossings a year you buy the next pass when the trips run out, so each crossing costs Rs. 15.38.

When the FASTag annual pass pays for itself

Break-even for the Rs. 3,075 pass (bought from 1 April 2026) at different average tolls per plaza crossing, and the saving if you use all 200 trips in a year.

Average toll per crossing	Break-even crossings a year	Saving at 200 crossings a year
Rs. 50	62	Rs. 6,925
Rs. 75	41	Rs. 11,925
Rs. 100	31	Rs. 16,925
Rs. 125	25	Rs. 21,925
Rs. 150	21	Rs. 26,925
Rs. 200	16	Rs. 36,925

Break-even is Rs. 3,075 divided by the toll, rounded up: below that many crossings a year, paying each toll is cheaper. Each crossing of an ordinary plaza is one trip, so a return journey through one plaza counts twice; one entry and exit on a closed expressway counts once. Only National Highway and National Expressway plazas count.

What the pass covers

The FASTag annual pass costs Rs. 3,075 for passes bought from 1 April 2026 (Rs. 3,000 in 2025-26) and lasts one year from activation or 200 trips, whichever comes first. It is for private, non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans, and works at the National Highway and National Expressway fee plazas, about 1,150 of them; on roads run by state governments or local bodies your FASTag pays the normal toll. You buy it once through the Rajmargyatra app or the NHAI website and it activates on your existing FASTag within two hours.

How trips are counted

At an ordinary toll plaza each crossing is one trip, so a return journey through one plaza uses two of your 200. On a closed, ticketed expressway, one entry and exit together count as one trip. Plazas where you already hold a local or monthly pass don't use up trips. The pass pays off once your crossings a year times the average toll pass Rs. 3,075: 31 crossings at Rs. 100 a plaza, 62 at Rs. 50.

Frequently asked questions

Is the FASTag annual pass worth it?

Yes, if you cross more than about 3,075 ÷ (your average toll) national highway plazas a year. Eight one-way journeys a month through two Rs. 95 plazas is 192 crossings a year, which costs Rs. 18,240 in tolls against Rs. 3,075 for the pass, a saving of Rs. 15,165. A weekend driver making four one-way journeys a month through three Rs. 110 plazas pays Rs. 15,840 a year in tolls and saves Rs. 12,765.

How much does the FASTag annual pass cost in 2026?

Rs. 3,075 for passes bought from 1 April 2026, for financial year 2026-27. It was Rs. 3,000 when it launched on 15 August 2025. NHAI revises the fee each April under the National Highways Fee Rules, 2008.

Does a return trip count as one trip or two?

Two, at an ordinary toll plaza: each crossing is one trip. On a closed tolling expressway, where you take a ticket on entry and pay on exit, one entry and exit together count as one trip.

What happens after 200 trips?

The pass ends and your FASTag goes back to paying each toll from its balance, even if the year isn't over. You can buy a new pass straight away, which gives another 200 trips or one year. Someone who crosses more than 200 plazas a year effectively pays Rs. 3,075 for every 200 crossings, about Rs. 15.38 each.

Can I use the annual pass on any toll road?

No. It covers only National Highway and National Expressway plazas. Expressways and state highways run by state governments or local bodies charge the normal toll from your FASTag balance. The pass is for private cars, jeeps and vans only, can't be moved to another vehicle, and is switched off if used on a commercial vehicle.
