News India Live, Digital Desk: NHAI often provides passes to local people living near toll points or to commercial vehicles. These include 50, 100 or maximum Annual pass with 200 trips Are very popular. The problem arises when in our busy life we do not remember how many trips we have used. When suddenly the balance starts decreasing, then one realizes that the situation is over.
What to do after the pass ends?
As soon as your 200 trips are completed or its validity ends, your Fastag starts working like a normal card and money starts getting deducted from your main wallet balance. Reactivating it is no longer as difficult as it used to be.
- Take help of bank app or website: Log in to the app or website of the bank for which you have taken Fastag (like HDFC, ICICI, SBI or Paytm). There you will see the ‘Vehicle’ or ‘Pass’ section.
- View old pass details: There instead of ‘Active Pass’ you will now see the option of ‘Exhausted’ or ‘Renew’. All you need to do is select your vehicle number and the toll plaza for which you need the pass.
- Select the 200 trips option: Select the annual pass as per your need and make the payment. This pass gets activated immediately after payment.
Take special care of these things
The mistake many people make is that they put money in the wallet and think that the pass will be automatically renewed. It’s not like that! You have to manually go and fill the ‘pass amount’ separately for the pass. The pass amount is separate from the wallet balance.
A tip for the convenience of the common man:
Try to renew it as soon as your trips remain around 10-20. You can also check your status sitting at home by visiting the National Highway website. If you remain aware, there will be no need to stop at toll booths and argue and waste precious time.
So now, instead of panicking if your Fastag pass limit is reached, just pick up your smartphone and resume your savings journey in two minutes.
