Here’s a quick guide on how to pay challan online, check status, and file grievances/ complaints.

What is traffic challan or e-challan?

Traffic e-challan is a fine that is issued for any traffic-related offences and used to be only be a physical receipt. However, the government has now digitised the process in some places and the violators are issued e-challans for the offence. The digitised traffic challan aka e-challan is generated through the Electronic Challan System, which is said to provide transparency and improve its services to citizens of India. The system automatically encrypts and transfers the data of violation to the centralised server at the Traffic Control room. The system then generates an e-challan along with photo/ video evidence, captured through CCTV cameras installed on the road, which is then sent to the violators’ mobile phone through SMS. An e challan can also be issued by a traffic cop. You can pay these challans online through the state government’s portal or the central government’s Parivahan portal.
