FASTag Annual Pass Crosses One Crore Mark at Rs 3,075 a Year

The correct answer is Rs 3,075. This single payment buys the holder a year of use, or two hundred crossings of toll plazas, whichever limit is reached first, and does away with the need to keep recharging the tag. Option A is wrong because the fee announced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is not a round two thousand rupees; the figure carries an odd seventy-five at the end, which is exactly the kind of detail a paper setter likes to test. Option C is wrong for the same reason, and it also overstates the price by a wide margin. Option D is wrong because no fee of five thousand rupees attaches to this pass at any stage; a higher figure would sit badly with the stated aim of making highway travel cheaper for private vehicle owners. The pass works at roughly one thousand one hundred and fifty fee plazas on the national network.

The correct answer is 200. The pass carries two ceilings side by side, a calendar ceiling of one year and a usage ceiling of two hundred crossings at toll plazas, and the holder travels under whichever of the two still has room. Option A is wrong because a hundred crossings would be half the limit actually fixed, and would make the pass far less attractive to the frequent inter-city driver it is aimed at. Option B is wrong because no intermediate figure of that kind appears in the design of the scheme. Option D is wrong because the ceiling is not stretched beyond two hundred; the Ministry has kept the two conditions simple and paired. Remember alongside this the one-time fee of Rs 3,075 and the launch date of 15 August 2025, as questions often combine the price, the date and the usage ceiling.

The correct answer is the Rajmargyatra App. The one-time payment for the annual pass is made through it, and once the money is received the pass is activated on the FASTag already linked to that vehicle, so nothing new has to be fitted to the car. Option B is wrong because mParivahan is associated with vehicle and licence documents rather than with the activation of this pass. Option C is wrong because UMANG is a common gateway to many government services and is not the route named for the annual pass. Option D is wrong because BHIM is a payments application built on the unified payments interface and is not the channel through which this pass is bought. Note also that the pass is open to all non-commercial vehicles carrying a valid FASTag, and that more than one crore of them have been issued since the launch.
