Recharging your FASTag Annual Pass is simple, allowing for seamless toll payments. Here are the steps to recharge your FASTag Annual Pass quickly: 

• Step 1: Access your FASTag account: Sign in to the app or portal of your FASTag issuer using the mobile number associated with your account.

• Step 2: Select to recharge: Click on 'Recharge' or 'Add Balance' to initiate recharging your account. 

• Step 3: Enter the recharge amount: Enter the recharge amount based on the annual pass tariff you wish to renew or extend.

No, you should not get a separate FASTag for the Annual Pass. The Annual Pass is linked to your FASTag and utilizes the FASTag already installed on your car.  Once you purchase the annual pass, it will automatically activate on your current FASTag, and you will use the same FASTag through the toll plazas where you receive the annual pass option.  It is vehicle-specific and cannot be transferred from one car to another or from another FASTag. 

Before purchasing an annual pass, ensure that your FASTag is active, valid, and registered to your vehicle's registration number.  The Annual pass will activate the existing FASTag on the vehicle. 

The FASTag Annual Pass can provide many benefits for someone using the highway regularly, including: 

• Toll Payment Without Cash: The toll cost will be automatically withdrawn from your linked account, allowing you to simply breeze through the tolls without needing cash or stopping at a toll collector. 

• Decrease Waiting Time: With the annual pass, you can accelerate through the tolls without waiting in an unending row at the plaza.

• Convenient for Frequent Visitors: For a single annual payment, the annual pass allows for all your toll entries (typically up to 200) for the year and unlimited travel, making it a more cost-effective alternative to the regular toll rate each time you travel.

• Simple Account Management: You can see trips taken, current account balance, and payment history on the FASTag account or application.

• Easy Renewal: Having the annual pass is just a click away for a year's worth of constant travel and avoiding repeated payments; and 

• Wide Highway Coverage: The Annual Pass is valid at all National Highways and Expressways where FASTag is accepted.
