Sasaram Toll Plaza is an important toll collection point on National Highway 19 in Rohtas district, Bihar. It serves vehicles travelling between Varanasi, Mohania, Kudra, Sasaram, Dehri-on-Sone, Aurangabad and destinations farther east or west.
The road was formerly numbered National Highway 2 and forms part of the historic Grand Trunk Road. Older toll records and official project documents may therefore identify the plaza as being on NH 2, while current maps normally show the route as NH 19.
Sasaram Toll Plaza is positioned near Shivsagar, west of Sasaram city. It collects toll for a section of the Varanasi–Aurangabad highway project and handles private cars, passenger buses, trucks and substantial interstate commercial traffic.

Sasaram Toll Plaza Rates
The following toll rates are applicable from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027.
| Vehicle category | Single journey | Return journey | Monthly pass |
| Car, jeep or van | ₹150 | ₹220 | ₹4,920 |
| Light commercial vehicle or minibus | ₹240 | ₹360 | ₹7,950 |
| Bus or two-axle truck | ₹500 | ₹750 | ₹16,655 |
| Commercial vehicle with up to three axles | ₹785 | ₹1,175 | ₹26,120 |
| Four-to-six-axle vehicle | ₹785 | ₹1,175 | ₹26,120 |
| Heavy construction or earth-moving equipment | ₹785 | ₹1,175 | ₹26,120 |
| Vehicle with seven or more axles | ₹955 | ₹1,430 | ₹31,800 |
A car, jeep or van pays ₹150 for a single crossing. The discounted return-journey charge is ₹220 when the outward and return crossings are completed within the permitted 24-hour period.
The standard monthly pass for a car, jeep or van is ₹4,920. This is different from the concessional local monthly pass available to qualifying residents living near the plaza.
Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The ₹150 car charge applies to one crossing through Sasaram Toll Plaza.
The ₹220 return rate covers an eligible outward and return journey through the same plaza. It is not charged separately in both directions.
For example, a car travelling through the plaza towards Varanasi and returning through it within the permitted 24-hour period may pay ₹220 in total instead of two separate ₹150 single-journey charges.
The same active FASTag should be used for both crossings. The system records the first transaction and normally applies the balance of the discounted return rate during the second crossing.
A vehicle returning after the permitted time may be charged another single-journey amount. Drivers should retain the FASTag transaction messages until the return journey is complete.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
A resident living within 20 kilometres of Sasaram Toll Plaza may qualify for a concessional monthly pass for a privately owned, non-commercial vehicle.
The local monthly-pass charge for the 2026–27 financial year is:
₹350 per month
Applicants may be required to provide:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Aadhaar card or another identity document
- Current residential-address proof
- Active FASTag linked to the vehicle
- Registered mobile number
- Recent photograph
- Completed application form
The concession is linked to a particular resident, vehicle and FASTag. Merely owning a vehicle registered in Rohtas district does not automatically activate the local pass.
The applicant’s residence must normally be verified as being within the permitted 20-kilometre distance. Commercial vehicles are not covered by this private local-resident pass.
Local Commercial Vehicle Rates
The current Sasaram Toll Plaza rate table does not publish a separate reduced rate for commercial vehicles registered in Rohtas district.
Commercial vehicle owners should therefore not assume that a local registration number will automatically result in a lower FASTag deduction.
Any special concession would depend on the project rules, vehicle permit, operating area and documents accepted by the toll administration. Owners should contact the toll control room before applying.

Sasaram and Mohania Toll Plazas Are Different
Sasaram Toll Plaza and Mohania Toll Plaza are separate toll collection points on the Varanasi–Aurangabad highway corridor.
Sasaram Toll Plaza is located near Shivsagar in Rohtas district. Mohania Toll Plaza is situated farther west in Kaimur district.
Vehicles travelling between Varanasi and Sasaram or destinations farther east may cross both plazas, depending on the exact starting point and route.
The ₹150 car toll at Sasaram applies only to the Sasaram toll section. It is not the complete toll charge for the entire Varanasi–Aurangabad journey.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard payment method at Sasaram Toll Plaza. Before travelling, drivers should ensure that the tag:
- Is active and has sufficient balance
- Is properly attached to the windscreen
- Is linked to the correct registration number
- Shows the correct vehicle category
- Has completed the required KYC process
- Is not damaged, suspended or blacklisted
Drivers should maintain sufficient distance from the vehicle ahead when entering the toll lane. This helps the scanner read each tag separately and reduces the possibility of an incorrect transaction.
Check the FASTag message after crossing. An incorrect deduction can be reported to the FASTag-issuing bank or through the National Highway helpline.
Vehicles entering without a valid FASTag may be charged according to the applicable penalty rules.
FASTag Annual Pass
Eligible privately registered, non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans may use the NHAI FASTag Annual Pass at approved National Highway and National Expressway toll plazas.
The pass costs ₹3,075 for the 2026–27 financial year. It remains valid for one year from activation or 200 toll-plaza crossings, whichever is completed first.
At an open toll plaza such as Sasaram, each passage in one direction counts as one crossing. Passing through the plaza and returning through it normally counts as two crossings.
Before purchasing the pass, drivers should confirm that:
- Sasaram Fee Plaza appears in the eligible-plaza list
- The vehicle is privately registered and non-commercial
- The registered vehicle category is car, jeep or van
- The FASTag is linked to the correct registration number
- The tag is active and KYC-compliant
The annual pass is activated on the vehicle’s existing FASTag. It cannot be transferred to another vehicle.
