Now there will be no need to go to toll plaza

But now the entire process has been made online. Regarding which NHAI has said that through the local pass feature, eligible people can get the pass by applying from mobile within a few minutes.

Upon receiving the consent of the vehicle owner, his address, vehicle number and FASTag related information will be automatically verified. This will eliminate the need for uploading documents and manual verification to a great extent.
