FASTag Annual Pass Exclusions and Eligible Highways

The FASTag Annual Pass allows frequent highway travelers to make up to 200 toll-free trips or travel for one year on select National Highways and Expressways for a flat ₹3,000 fee. It aims to reduce toll congestion and simplify toll payments for regular commuters.

However, not all highways are part of this scheme. Knowing which routes are covered and which are excluded helps drivers plan their trips better and avoid unexpected toll payments.

Key Highways and Expressways Excluded from FASTag Annual Pass

Here is a complete list of key highways and expressways excluded from the FastTag annual pass toll:

Sr. No.	Highway / Expressway Name	State / Authority
1	Yamuna Expressway	Uttar Pradesh (YEIDA)
2	Purvanchal Expressway	Uttar Pradesh (State Government)
3	Bundelkhand Expressway	Uttar Pradesh (State Government)

9	Ahmedabad–Vadodara Expressway	Gujarat (State/Municipal Authorities)
10	Atal Setu	Goa (State Authority)
11	Other State Highways and Local Toll Roads	Various States / Local Bodies

Why are These Routes Excluded From The FASTag Annual Pass?

These routes are excluded since they are subject to state or local authority management, not NHAI. This will not work for the FASTag Annual Pass because states or other local authorities have different toll systems, rules, and rates. This allows the toll collection to work reliably and to be appropriately managed on NHAI highways where the FASTag Annual Pass is valid.

FASTag Annual Pass Restrictions

While the FASTag Annual Pass makes toll payments easier, there are some significant restrictions to keep in mind:

The pass is not valid for commercial vehicle use. The pass will be deactivated immediately if placed in a commercial vehicle.
The pass is non-transferable and must remain in the vehicle it is issued for.
The pass is valid only on toll plazas managed by the NHAI. It will not be valid on state highways, municipal roads, or expressways, including the Yamuna Expressway or the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
The pass should not be shared between vehicles, even if the same individual owns it.

The pass will also expire when the user takes a limited number of trips or after one year, whichever comes first.

The FASTag annual pass offers convenience and a simplified process for highway travel. It saves time and toll costs with easy cashless travelling on convenient routes.
