Last year in 2025, The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) had launched a unique ‘Clean Toilet Picture Challenge’, where you can get rewarded for reporting a dirty toilet at Toll Plazas along the National Highways of India. It has now extended this scheme till 30th June 2026.

It was announced today by the NHAI that they've extended the ‘Clean Toilet Picture Challenge’ initiative till 30th June 2026, with an objective to further enhance cleanliness and user experience at toilet facilities along the National Highways of India.

The extension of the initiative aims to ensure continued public participation and effective implementation of the ‘Clean Toilet Picture’ scheme, along with timely processing of FASTag recharge reward linked to the initiative.

Under the extended campaign, the pictures of dirty or unclean toilets shared by National Highway users will be assessed on a daily basis and eligible claims under the scheme will be processed in a time-bound manner.

The rewards under this initiative will be in the form of a FASTag recharge worth ₹1,000, which will be credited to the linked vehicle registration number (VRN) within five days of validation, and it can be claimed till 30 June 2026 only, by using RajmargYatra App. Conditions apply - the details are below.

How to report dirty toilets at Toll Plazas along National Highways?

The ‘Clean Toilet Picture Challenge’ is open to all National Highway commuters in India. If you're a National Highway user, then you can participate by uploading clear, geo-tagged, and time-stamped photographs of unclean toilets through the latest version of the Rajmargyatra mobile app.

You're also required to provide basic details including your name, location, vehicle registration number and mobile number, while submitting the pictures through the app.

What is the reward and how to claim it?

Each eligible Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) reporting such an instance of unclean or dirty toilets will receive a reward of ₹ 1,000 (Rupees One Thousand only) in the form of a FASTag recharge credited to the linked Vehicle Registration Number (VRN).

Each VRN shall be eligible for only one reward during the entire scheme period. The reward is non-transferable and cannot be claimed in cash.

Further details about this challenge

Note that each National Highway toilet facility shall be eligible for reward consideration only once per day, irrespective of the number of reports received.

That is, in cases where multiple reports are submitted for the same facility on the same day, only the first valid submission through the Rajmargyatra App will be considered.

This scheme is applicable exclusively to toilet facilities constructed, operated, or maintained under NHAI’s jurisdiction only.

Toilets that are located at retail fuel stations, dhabas, or other public facilities that are not under NHAI’s control, are excluded.

All entries will be subject to verification through AI-assisted screening and manual validation, wherever required.


The NHAI had launched the unique ‘Clean Toilet Picture Challenge’ in September 2025 to encourage National Highway users to actively report unclean toilet facilities at the toll plazas along National Highways.

This initiative had received enthusiastic response from the National Highway users with around 350 commuters reporting unclean toilets and around 265 eligible entries were rewarded with FASTag recharges.

Through this initiative, the NHAI aims to meet its commitment to improving user amenities and fostering a culture of shared responsibility for cleanliness and hygiene along the National Highways.
