FASTag Annual Pass Cost And Validity 2 / 7 The FASTag annual pass is priced at Rs 3,000 and is valid for either one year or 200 trips—whichever is completed first. It is designed to reduce frequent toll payments and simplify regular highway commuting. One FASTag, One Vehicle Rule 3 / 7 As per NHAI, each FASTag is vehicle-specific and cannot be used interchangeably. Using a FASTag on a vehicle other than the one it's registered with is considered a rule violation and may lead to hefty penalties. FASTag Annual Pass: Applicable To Private Vehicles 4 / 7 The annual pass is applicable only for private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans. It cannot be used on commercial vehicles and is valid only at designated National Highways and Expressways. FASTag Annual Pass: How To Activate It 5 / 7 The annual pass can be activated via the Rajmarg Yatra app or NHAI's official website. Once activated, users can conveniently renew their pass online without the need to visit any toll plaza. No Need For New FASTag 6 / 7 There's no requirement to purchase a new FASTag for the annual pass. Users can activate the pass on their existing FASTag issued by banks or platforms like Paytm, ICICI Bank, or HDFC Bank. FASTag Annual Pass: One Vehicle, One Pass 7 / 7 The annual pass is non-transferable and valid only for the vehicle on which the FASTag is affixed. If the pass is used on another vehicle, it will be deactivated immediately, rendering it unusable.

Top UK supermarket launches new subscription pass — with major Christmas perk
From Clubcard to Sparks, the top UK supermarkets all have their own loyalty schemes for customers, but one has just launched something interesting. After a successful trial, Waitrose is now offering shoppers a new subscription known as a Delivery Pass, which is intended for those ordering their groceries online or via the app. The pass allows people to pay upfront for delivery slots, with three different options available – one month for £8, six months for £45 or 12 months for £85. It's thought this could save shoppers £4 per week in delivery costs, which could equate to as much as £123 per year, with deliveries costing between £2 and £4 without the pass, depending on the time slot they are booked for. Those with a Waitrose Delivery Pass will be able to book up to one available grocery delivery slot per day, at no additional delivery cost to their order. One of the biggest draws for the subscription will likely be the major Christmas perk it offers to customers. As we get further into the year, many will soon start thinking ahead to the big Christmas shop, but securing a festive delivery slot can be incredibly tricky. However, those with the pass will be entitled to early access to Christmas delivery slots, as long as the pass was purchased before September 1 that same year. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video This perk will be subject to some terms and conditions, which Waitrose says will be confirmed in an email ahead of the Christmas period. But there is a catch – whether you're booking your weekly shop or a Christmas delivery, all of the slots are still subject to availability, so paying for the pass doesn't mean you are guaranteed anything. You'll also have to meet the minimum spend requirements of £40 (after any discounts/offers have been deducted) in order to use your Delivery Pass. Speaking about the new subscription, Waitrose director of online Laura Burbedge said: 'We're investing in our online business to continuously improve it, giving our customers even greater value and the best possible experience. 'Thousands of customers signed up for Delivery Passes through our trial, so we expect to see strong demand across the UK as we roll it out.' This comes after Waitrose recently made a change to one of its most popular loyalty scheme perks. The retailer offers My Waitrose shoppers a free hot drink, as long as they bring a reusable cup with them, but in a bid to ensure everyone gets their caffeine fix, customers can now borrow a cup if they've forgotten their own. More Trending Sounds like a pretty great deal, but it comes with a catch. If shoppers don't bring the cup back to a designated collection point within seven days, they'll face a £3 charge. And that's not all, the supermarket is also said to be trialing US-style plastic trolleys in its Brent Cross branch. These new designs are said to be lighter and easier to steer, without the clattering noise traditional carts can make as they're wheeled through the aisles.

Your FASTag Could Be Blacklisted Soon, New Rule Will Hit Drivers Hard
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has strengthened its policy to report and blacklist "loose FASTags", not affixed to the vehicle's windscreen; these tags are also known as "tag-in-hand" to ensure smooth tolling operations and authenticity of the Electronic Toll Collection system. This move aims to address operational challenges caused by vehicle owners deliberately not fixing FASTags to their windscreens, leading to lane congestion, false chargebacks, and misuse in closed-loop tolling systems. Why NHAI Took This Decision NHAI's move comes ahead of the rollout of new systems like the Annual Pass and Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling. NHAI took this strict decision to prevent disruptions in the Electronic Toll Collection framework, which can result in unnecessary delays at toll plazas and inconvenience to other National Highway users. With the penetration rate of FASTag exceeding 98%, this initiative aims to make toll operations more efficient, ensuring seamless and comfortable journeys for National Highway users. Process for FASTag Blacklisting According to a statement by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, to ensure timely corrective measures, NHAI has provided a dedicated email ID and has directed the Toll Collection Agencies and Concessionaires to immediately report such FASTags. Based on the reports received, NHAI will take immediate action to initiate blacklisting/hotlisting of the reported FASTags. Impact on Vehicle Owners While this initiative may require vehicle owners to be more vigilant about FASTag usage, it's unlikely to increase problems for compliant users. In fact, it should lead to a better experience for all National Highway users by reducing delays and congestion at toll plazas. What Should Common FASTag Users Do? To avoid blacklisting, FASTag users should: Ensure Proper FASTag Installation: Fix the FASTag securely to the vehicle's windscreen. Complete KYC Verification: Update your Know Your Customer (KYC) details with the issuing bank or digital wallet provider. Maintain Sufficient Balance: Keep adequate funds in the FASTag wallet to avoid insufficient balance issues. Monitor FASTag Status: Regularly check for alerts from the bank or FASTag provider. The ministry said in the statement that loose FASTags or "tag-in-hand" pose a challenge to the efficiency of Electronic Toll Collection operations. This initiative will help to make toll operations more efficient, ensuring seamless & comfortable journeys for the National Highway users.
