In a much-awaited development, the central government has lifted all restrictions on passenger and goods’ movement for both inter-state and intra-state travel. Reportedly, Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla has written to all Union Territories and state and chief secretaries on the same. He has also communicated that any such imposition would henceforth be treated as violation of the guidelines issued by the MHA. Sorce : Times of India

I think Tamil Nadu is still an exception. Any idea if e-pass is required while travelling from Bangalore to Chennai?

You are right.

Chennai, Aug 25: The Ministry of Home Affairs directed all states to not block inter and intra state travel. While Karnataka has lifted all restrictions and done away with the e-pass system, Tamil Nadu appears to be reluctant to do so.

The government in TN is of the view that e-pass aides in contract tracing of COVID-19 positive cases. The government is in favour of continuing with the e-pass system.

However the government has Mae the e-pass system automatic as a result of which travel has been eased.

A final decision on the e-pass would be taken by Tamil Nadu on August 29, following a review meeting with the district collectors, a Times of India report said.

Many are reluctant to do away with the e-pass system and Chief Minister E Palaniswami is saiid that have expressed his displeasure with the Centre's new directive. He is of the view that all efforts taken to contain the pandemic would go waste if the pass system is abolished.

 

Looks like Tamilnadu is still following epass system.

I guess by end of this month, most of them will lift the pass system.

MH and TN are still strict, other states are in relax mode. 
May be by end of this month things will settle.

Recent update from Hyderabad to Bangalore by Krishna Jain:

 

Finally made the long due drive from Bangalore to Hyderabad and back. What an amazing road.. full highway with no single road in between at all.

Started at 5 AM from Hennur, once you reach Hebbal, it is all highway (NH44) with excellent condition.

 

Made only 1 stop for tea break for 15 mins. Reached Hyderabad at 12:45 PM. Return next day started at 6:45 AM from Hyderabad and reached back home at 3:15 PM with a 30 minute break in between.

 

Saw the massive KIA motors plant in between and few beautiful temples on the way apart from the epic scenery.

 

There were no checkpoints and no pass requirements. Only while exiting Bangalore in the early morning at one point there was a check point where police asked where I was going and if there was anything in the boot.

 

No exertion, hassle-free drive all along. I am happy I decided to take this trip and avoid a flight.

 

Technical details:

Total trip ~1200 kms.

Total tolls cost ~1310 (more single trip cost incurred towards the end as I returned the next day)

Lesser traffic on the highway with no RTC/Volvo buses.

Pack your own food to have a zero contact trip.

Thanks a lot Mr. Jain for clearing the lump of a doubt about the inter state permits between Telangana, AP and Bangalore... During my recent travel to Vijayawada m, I was asked to produce the pass to enter AP even after the rule has been relaxed.. Thanks a lot for sharing a recent update on this track.

Hyderabad to Bangalore e-pass is not required any more. My cousin travelled without any issue.

Only MH and TN are strict about e-pass. I guess they will also allow eventually.
