Traffic is an everyday affair for many of us. It affects us whether we own a vehicle or not. From a very early age, students are taught about safety pertaining to roads, the use of zebra-crossing, understanding the relevance of traffic lights. Therefore by the time a child becomes eligible to drive on his/her own, these basic rules are imbibed in their minds and become very easy to understand the dynamic traffic rules and penalties associated with it. With this dynamic nature of rules, it becomes challenging for the traffic police in carrying out their job efficiently.

E-Challan helps in this case. To ease the difficulties of the traffic police in catching the defaulters of the road, e-challan helps. E-challan system is an electronic system that catches the defaulter by clicking the photograph of the number plate as well as the person sitting on/inside the vehicle. Challan is generated based on the violation, it is sent to the nearest police control room for further inquiry. Latter in the police control room a computer creates the challan receipt for the person. This receipt will then be sent to the person’s mobile number. It will contain your information and the link to pay the fine.

What is E-Challan?

E-Challan is the electronic challan generated with the use of CCTV Cameras installed on various traffic posts, where the proximity of occurrence of a traffic violation is more. If a violation takes place, the person who broke the law will have to pay a penalty in accordance with the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The concept of e-challans was implemented in India in 2013, this was to replace the existing paper challans.
