The facility eliminates the need for commuters to visit toll plazas physically and submit documents for obtaining a Local Pass, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said in a statement.

Under the digital framework, residents living within a 20-km radius of an eligible toll plaza can apply for the monthly Local Pass through the Rajmargyatra app.

The pass allows eligible commuters unlimited travel through the respective toll plaza during the month.

The digital Local Pass facility was first launched in July 2026 at the Mundka-Bakkarwala toll plaza on Delhi's Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II).

Following the rollout, the facility has now been expanded to 121 toll plazas and will be extended to more toll plazas in the coming months, the ministry said.

The system uses consent-based integration with government digital platforms, including DigiLocker and VAHAN, to retrieve and verify information such as the applicant's residential address, vehicle details and linked FASTag.

Eligibility is also determined through GIS-based verification to establish whether the applicant's registered address falls within the prescribed 20-km radius of the toll plaza.

“The integration of verified digital data and GIS-based validation eliminates the need for manual documentation and physical verification, while ensuring greater consistency, transparency and accuracy in determining eligibility,” the ministry said.

“The system also reduces scope for manual intervention and streamlines the delivery of local toll services to eligible commuters,” it added.

Commuters can check the list of eligible toll plazas through the Rajmargyatra portal.
