For frequent travelers\u2014whether commuting for work, visiting family, or taking regular road trips\u2014this plan offers cost savings, time efficiency, and complete peace of mind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scheme was launched soon after FASTag became mandatory for all vehicles, as part of India\u2019s push toward digital tolling and cashless highways<\/strong>. It was particularly aimed at daily commuters and intercity travelers<\/strong> who spend extra time and money managing recharges. Over time, NHAI has been expanding this facility across more expressways and national highways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For official updates and the latest routes where the plan is active, travelers can check the NHAI FASTag portal (IHMCL)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.You activate the yearly pass on your existing FASTag (ICICI, HDFC, SBI, Paytm, etc.)<\/strong>. This is particularly useful for daily office commuters, families visiting hometowns frequently, or anyone using the same stretch regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.Not Eligible:<\/strong> Commercial vehicles including taxis, buses, trucks, and goods carriers<\/strong> are excluded from this facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason behind this restriction is that commercial vehicles usually operate across multiple states and highways<\/strong>, making a fixed-route or toll plaza-specific pass impractical. They also contribute to higher road usage and wear<\/strong>, so tolls for them are calculated differently to maintain fairness in revenue collection. By limiting the yearly pass to personal vehicles, NHAI ensures that private commuters save money and time<\/strong>, while commercial traffic continues under the standard pay-per-use toll system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.Visit your bank\u2019s FASTag portal<\/strong> (ICICI, HDFC, SBI, Paytm, etc.) or the official NHAI FASTag website (IHMCL)<\/a>. The activation is usually instant, and you\u2019ll also receive a confirmation SMS or email from your bank or service provider. Some banks even allow plan renewal reminders<\/strong> so you won\u2019t miss your expiry date. With this, your FASTag works seamlessly on your chosen route for 12 months without any further intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc49 Here\u2019s a helpful YouTube guide: FASTag Recharge & Pass Explained<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Steps to recharge via UPI:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.Open your UPI app (PhonePe \/ Google Pay \/ Paytm). 2.
