Commuters to Benefit from Concessional Pass Options
National Highway users can avail benefits of different concessional passes that are available to make commuting seamless and economical.
These passes include a 'local monthly pass' facility for commuters with private vehicles residing within a 20 km (or as applicable) radius of a fee plaza.
Monthly Pass Issued After Document Verification
To avail a 'local monthly pass', a list of required documents, including Aadhar card, Vehicle Registration Certificate and proof of residential address, is displayed at all fee plazas.
The monthly pass is issued at the fee plaza helpdesk after verification of documents.
Annual Pass Valid Across 1,150 Fee Plazas Nationwide
Similarly, an 'annual pass' facility with validity of one year or 200 fee plaza crossings is applicable only for private vehicles like cars/jeeps/vans.
Also Watch:
The annual pass can be purchased through the 'Rajmargyatra App' and is digitally activated on the valid FASTag attached to the vehicle after paying a one-time fee of Rs 3,000.
The annual pass is valid at around 1,150 fee plazas on National Highways and expressways across the country.
