Is the Fastag annual pass not valid anymore for 3 row or personal cars with 6/7 seats? Over the last few days many online reports have suggested that starting January 1st, 2026 the scheme has been withdrawn for all 3 row cars irrespective of them being personal or commercial. Now the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has issued a clarification regarding the same.

Kindly refrain from spreading fake news.”, the statement said. However some users have been complaining on social media saying that annual fastag for their vehicles has stopped working.
