Missed your chance to secure a National Lok Adalat token and still have pending challans? For many vehicle owners across India, settlement drives such as the National Lok Adalat offer an opportunity to clear pending challans at a reduced cost. However, limited token availability and high website traffic often prevent many motorists from completing the process, leaving e-challans unresolved.
To address this gap, Park+ introduced Challan Day — a structured, twice-a-month event designed to make traffic fine settlement simpler, more accessible, and financially manageable. Understanding how it works and the benefits it provides can help motorists make the most of this initiative.
What is a Challan Day?
Challan Day is a dedicated one-day event conducted by Park+ twice every month to help vehicle owners resolve pending traffic challans in a streamlined manner.
Unlike occasional court-led settlement windows, this recurring event offers predictable opportunities throughout the month. Motorists can begin by conducting an online challan check to review outstanding cases. Once verified, they can proceed with a guided digital settlement process.
Eligible cases may receive up to 50% concession on the applicable legal fee, helping reduce overall settlement costs. The broader objective is to encourage timely compliance and work towards a more responsible and “#ChallanMuktBharat” (Challan-free India) ecosystem.

What type of challans are settled on Challan Day?
A common question many vehicle owners ask is whether serious challans can be settled during Challan Day. In most cases, the focus is on compoundable offences — violations that can be resolved by paying a prescribed fine. Cases that involve mandatory imprisonment or complex court trials are generally handled separately under regular legal procedures.
The types of challans category eligible for settlement:
- Minor traffic violations
- Digital e-challan notices are issued through automated systems
- Non-compoundable matters where legal procedure is applicable
- Cases that require a structured fee procedure
It is important to conduct a proper challan check beforehand to confirm eligibility. Certain serious offences may follow a separate legal route and may not fall within the scope of routine settlement cycles.
