Fastag Annual Pass: With the implementation of Fastag Annual Pass, the dispute regarding the toll of 60 km. That too will be completely over. Let us tell you what this dispute is.

Fastag Annual Pass: Today, the Union Road and Transport Minister of the country, Nitin Gadkari, has made a big announcement for private vehicle drivers. He has talked about implementing the annual Fastag pass across the country. From August 15, 2025, everyone will be able to avail the facility of Fastag Annual Pass. That is, at present, people have to recharge the Fastag again when the balance of the Fastag is over. After the Fastag Annual Pass comes, people will not have to recharge again.

Recharge will have to be done only once a year. Giving information about this Fastag Annual Pass, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that through this pass, the dispute regarding the toll of 60 km. That too will be completely over. Let us tell you what is this controversy about the 60 km toll.

What is the 60 km toll controversy?

In fact, Union Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari had said in the year 2022 that there should be a distance of 60 km between two toll plazas on national highways. That is, if you have passed through a tour plaza. And before 60 km you get another toll plaza. So it is illegal. The government did this so that the toll does not have to be paid again and again.

But many people presented this statement of the Union Minister in a different way. Many people said that toll would be free at a distance of 60 km from the house. Whereas the government had fixed this rule for the distance between two toll plazas. But for those whose houses are near the toll plaza. The facility of making a separate monthly pass was started for them. So that they do not have to pay tolls again and again.

Annual pass will make work easier.

Many people used to complain that their house is within a 60 km radius of the toll plaza and they have to pay toll again and again. Because the government has already fixed the distance between two toll plazas as 60 km. So, by traveling through an annual fastag pass, one will not have to pay toll again and again. Because toll plazas with a distance of less than 60 km will not be included in it. In such a situation, the driver will not need a separate monthly pass for the toll plaza that he gets as soon as he leaves home. Their work will become easier through this annual pass.
