Kolkata Traffic Challan: Check Status & Pay E Challan Online
Challans in Kolkata
Kolkata, also known as Calcutta, is the capital city of West Bengal. It is a bustling metropolis with a population of over 14 million people. While Kolkata is known for its vibrant culture and rich history, it is also known for its chaotic traffic.
The traffic situation in Kolkata is challenging with narrow roads, heavy congestion, and a lack of traffic management infrastructure in some areas. As a result, traffic violations are common including overspeeding, driving without a valid license, parking in no-parking zones, and jumping signals.
To address these issues, the Kolkata Traffic Police Department has implemented an e-challan system for traffic violations. The e-challan system is designed to streamline the process of issuing challans and collecting fines for traffic violations, making it more efficient and convenient for both drivers and law enforcers.
Here is a quick guide for you to understand how to check and verify your challan, and make payment after verification.
