One fine morning you decide to go early to work in hopes of coming back home early, you start your car and just drive away happily. You feel that providence is on your side as the traffic is low and you made a good decision going to work early. At the red light, you stop and see a uniformed police officer coming to you and by the time you realize it, he knocks on your window and hands you a piece of paper for driving without a seatbelt. You park your car, reach for your wallet and find that there is no cash in it, after much discussion the cop lets you go and asks you to submit your license which you will get after you pay the penalty. Paying the challan is another time taking task, and in case you don’t pay it in the stipulated time, be prepared to spend long hours in court. However, to make things easier for citizens there is now a provision of paying the challan online, take a look.

What is an e-Challan?

PDA Device for eChallan

A challan is a ticket that is issued by the traffic police to an individual caught violating traffic rules, like jumping a red light or parking in a no-parking zone.

You have the right to defer your payment to a later date when you are issued a challan. However, you will have to submit your driving license and take a receipt for the same, so that you are able to get your license back after payment.

Yes, a Challan can reach your home within 15 days from the date of violation. This system is present in many cities and the government plans to expand it to other regions as well.

Are e-Challans automated?

Some traffic intersections have automated cameras that identify the offense, and immediately notify the police department, which then sends the notification to the concerned person.
