The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has extended the digital FASTag Local Pass facility to 121 toll plazas across the country. Eligible commuters residing within a 20 km radius of an eligible toll plaza can subscribe to the monthly local pass online through the Rajmargyatra Mobile App, removing the need for physical visits and manual document submission. The digital system utilizes consent-based integration with DigiLocker and VAHAN, alongside GIS-based verification to check residential address and vehicle details. The initiative aims to enhance ease of living, improve transparency, and streamline tolling operations.
