FASTag Annual Pass in Maharashtra: Price, Activation, Benefits,, and Full Toll Plaza List (2025)
Summarise This Article With

Toll booths on highways are often deemed to be bottlenecks that hinder smooth and fast travel. Toll taxes are a major component of travel costs for drivers in the state of Maharashtra.

The introduction of FASTag had alleviated to some extent this problem, but not completely eradicated it because drivers still had to frequently recharge their FASTag accounts. Looking into this problem, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) launched the FASTag Annual Pass on 15 August 2025.

The response has been overwhelming, and on the first day, over 1.4 lakh users bought the passes, and registrations have touched 5 lakh nationwide.

The annual FASTag recharge has been priced at Rs 3000, and it is valid for 200 toll trips or one year, whichever comes first. It will be valid on all NHAI-managed highways. However, it must be noted that the annual FASTag is not valid on highways that are managed by the state government, such as the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, Atal Setu, and Samruddhi Mahamarg.

In this article, we will walk you through the process of activation and the toll plazas where the FASTag will be operational.

Mumbai Court Clerk Arrested for Rs 15 Lakh Bribe; Additional Sessions Judge Named as Wanted Accused

The Mumbai ACB has exposed a major bribery scandal involving a Mazgaon court clerk and Additional Sessions Judge Ejazuddin Qazi. The clerk was caught accepting a Rs 15 lakh bribe for a favorable land-dispute verdict, while the judge—named in the FIR—remains absconding.

Mumbai Court Clerk Arrested for Rs 15 Lakh Bribe; Additional Sessions Judge Named as Wanted Accused
Summarise This Article With

The Mumbai Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has uncovered a major bribery scandal involving the City Civil and Sessions Court in Mazgaon.

A court clerk has been arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 15 lakh from an Additional Sessions Judge in exchange for a favorable verdict in a land dispute case. The accused clerk identified as 40-year-old Chandrakant Vasudev was caught red-handed accepting the agreed bribe amount on Tuesday.

Shockingly 55-year-old Additional Sessions Judge Ejazuddin Salauddin Qazi is also named in the FIR and is currently absconding. This is one of the rare cases in recent years where a serving judge has been charged under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

According to ACB officials the complainant’s wife filed a petition in the Bombay High Court in 2015 alleging that another group had forcibly occupied land owned by the company in Bandra. Since the property’s valuation was less than Rs 10 crore the High Court stayed third-party rights in 2016 and later transferred the commercial dispute to the Mazgaon City Civil and Sessions Court in March 2024.

Most importantly the case was listed before Court No. 14 where Judge Kazi presided. On September 9, 2025 the complainant’s office colleague received a call from Vasudev who was present in the courtroom. A meeting later took place at a cafe in Chembur on September 12 where Vasudev allegedly demanded Rs 25 lakh (Rs 15 lakh for Judge Kazi and Rs 10 lakh for himself) to secure a favorable order.

After negotiations the clerk agreed to a lower amount of Rs 15 lakh. Vasudev allegedly made repeated calls demanding payment prompting the complainant to contact the ACB on November 10th and file a formal complaint.

After verifying the allegations ACB officials laid a trap on November 11th. Top Stories Vasudev arrived to receive the Rs 15 lakh bribe and was immediately arrested. Investigators reported that immediately after receiving the money Vasudev called Judge Kazi to inform him that the payment had been received.

The judge reportedly acknowledged this evidence that proved his involvement. It’s worth noting that the ACB has now filed a case against both Vasudev and Judge Kazi under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Vasudev has been remanded to five days’ police custody while Judge Kazi remains at large.

ACB officials say further investigation is underway to trace their whereabouts and unearth the entire bribery network.
