Through which application is the FASTag Annual Pass fee paid?

  1. A.Rajmargyatra App
  2. B.mParivahan App
  3. C.UMANG App
  4. D.BHIM App

Correct answer

A. Rajmargyatra App

Explanation

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.
