Purchased Fast Tag annual pass
In India, if we need to use state and national highways, we must pay tolls using a Fast Tag. This is mandatory for every vehicle crossing the toll booth. I believe this is the case in many countries, and with the help of this revenue, they can maintain and repair the roads when necessary. This is a good thing, but sometimes it can end up very costly for individuals travelling in their own vehicles.
Today I just came back home from a trip for which I paid about Rs 550 as toll charges. That's when I thought there should be some way to get a discount on this. I remembered my office colleague mentioning something about the annual pass. I then explored and have purchased the annual pass with which I can pass 200 times within a year for free of cost. Compared to the cost that I was paying currently, I think this is far better.
I explored the government website looking for instructions. They have some good functioning websites that helps in purchasing the pass for one year. The payment experience was also seamless. I'm glad that government websites, especially central government websites, are properly maintained and properly built. I hope the same happens with the state government websites too, but anyways that's an off topic for now.
I have now purchased an annual fast tag pass, and I noticed that it was also working fine during today's journey. I initially thought that 200 times might be a bigger number, but when I compare the savings, I think it will be a wise and valuable move. Whenever I crossed a toll with the fast tag now, I was able to notice that a transaction was pushed to me as a notification. The transaction confirmation mentioned that the cost was Rs 0 because I have the annual pass, and the number of times I can pass might get graduallybe reduced.

here you also pay for the highways, depending how much km you do, there is no pass like this one, instead a sort of pre paid card which gives some discounts...your card seems better
That’s actually a good one. It’s brilliant that you thought about a better way out because it is way better to go for annual plans for things like this or use public transportation when you don’t travel often, than pay per pass.

What is the cost and is there any time limit or any sort of constraints here.. Good to know there can be savings by taking an annual fast tag pass. Cheers
OK just googled it it's 3k inr for 200 limit.. Its nice one. Thanks for the information
It's a good initiative, I must say, recently rolled out. It may get extended to the parking facilities also. But that involves another nationwide rollout. 😅
That's a smart move! Utilizing the annual pass not only saves money but also streamlines the travel experience. It's great to see efficient government services making everyday life easier.
