Surat E-Challan
An e-challan is an electronic form of a traffic challan issued when someone violates traffic laws. Surat city traffic police issue e-challans without the presence of a police officer.
If an e-challan is generated, the next step is to check it on the Surat Traffic Police Department's e-challan portal for further traffic challan investigation. Instead of visiting a police station or government office, anyone can check their pending challan online. Let's take a closer look at how to track their status and pay them.
