The process of issuing challans has gone through significant changes with the introduction of new-age technology. Now, an e-challan is issued against traffic violations by drivers. It is generated through the Electronic Challan System which tracks the data of violations and transfers them to a server system in the traffic control room.
One can check online traffic challan status through Park+. If any discrepancies are found, they can be reported through a complaint. The e-challan is issued along with image/video evidence gathered by the roadside CCTV cameras. Commuters are informed through an SMS in case of a traffic violation SMS.
Purpose of e-challan
The E-challan was introduced to issue challans to citizens via the government's official app.
The Indian government has introduced it to make challan payments simple and convenient for Indian citizens. Instead of visiting a government office to pay pending fines and waiting in long queues, the fine submission process has become easier for offenders with this e-challan mechanism in place.
