FASTag Annual Recharge Guide: Steps, Eligibility & Auto-Pay Setup

The FASTag annual recharge, also referred to as an annual pass, is a prepaid payment option for tolls. Instead of recharging your FASTag frequently, the annual recharge allows you to prepay for a fixed number of toll transactions over a year. This option is particularly useful for frequent travellers, as it saves time and ensures uninterrupted access to toll roads.

By choosing Bajaj Finserv for your FASTag annual recharge, you gain several advantages:

• Ease of Processing: Bajaj Finserv offers a streamlined recharge process through its app and website, making it quick and hassle-free.
• Savings on Toll Payments: Opting for an annual pass can help you save money compared to multiple individual recharges.
• Spending Tracking: With the Bajaj Finserv platform, you can easily track your toll expenses and manage your budget effectively.
• Auto-Recharge Options: Set up auto-recharge to ensure your FASTag account is always topped up, eliminating the risk of insufficient funds.

Eligible vehicle types

The FASTag annual recharge is available for a wide range of vehicles, including:

• Private vehicles: Cars, SUVs, and jeeps.
• Commercial vehicles: Trucks, buses, and light commercial vehicles (LCVs).
• Two-wheelers: On select toll routes where FASTag is applicable.

Ensure that your vehicle category is eligible for the annual pass based on your travel routes.

Route and highway eligibility

The annual recharge is valid only on specific toll roads or highways. Before opting for this plan, verify the routes you frequently use and confirm their eligibility for the annual pass. This ensures that you maximise the benefits of your recharge without any restrictions.

Linked FASTag account

To use the FASTag annual recharge option, it is crucial to maintain an active and accurate FASTag account. Here are some tips:

• Ensure correct vehicle details: Double-check that your vehicle registration number and category are accurate in your FASTag account.
