An e-challan is an electronic version of a traffic challan that you get when someone disobeys traffic rules. Surat city traffic police issues e-challans without the need for actual police personnel presence. E-challan Surat is issued to anyone if they are detected breaking any traffic laws by surveillance cameras.
If one receives an e-challan in Surat, the next step would be to verify it on the Surat Traffic Police Department's e-challan portal for further traffic challan enquiry. Anyone can check their pending challan online rather than going to a police station or government office.
