E-Challan refers to an electronic traffic violation ticket that is sent to addresses associated with violators’ vehicle identification numbers. This challenge contains information about the driver and a photograph of the truck.
The problem is that many of those who violate the law are not aware that they have been fined. They either moved to a new address that is registered to their vehicle IDs or hasn’t updated their records. Or they don’t receive the E-Challan at the current address because of technical difficulties. We have provided guidance on how to pay and check if you have OCD or if you are unsure if your actions violate the rules.
Traffic E-Challans for Punjab
All traffic law violations challans used to be given on paper. This made it difficult to file and pay for them at your local police department.
The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) was established in 2015, and a Punjab Police Integrated Command and Control Centre (PPIC3) was established to monitor and oversee the law and order situation in Punjab’s various cities. To keep citizens safer, surveillance cameras were installed in major cities across Punjab.
The e-challan system monitors traffic using special Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras (ANPR) and a Red Light Monitoring System(RLMS). It then produces automatic challans that are mailed to all traffic violators. ANPR images are used to establish the vehicle owner’s identity. The Motor Transport Information Management System is also used, which aids in Punjab’s vehicle validation process.
It is also important to note that the tax would be paid by the driver within ten days of the vehicle being driven by another person. This will prevent the vehicle from being impounded by the police.
How to Check E-Challan Online
The Punjab traffic police could confiscate your vehicle if you fail to pay traffic violations challans. You may not even know of violations if your car is shared with family members or registered in your name. It is important to be vigilant about any traffic fines and dues.
As seen in the picture above, go to the PSCA’s e-Challan website.
Enter the vehicle’s plate number and CNIC of the person whose name it is registered.
The machine will inform you if you have a traffic violation that has yet to be charged.
You can print the information if you don’t receive a challan at home or misplace the one you did get.
