Now, not only can you check if your vehicle is penalised but also pay the challan in the same time. Here is just one website by the Ministry of Road Transport that will help you check if your car is guilty of violating any traffic laws.
Every other state have their own websites for paying traffic challans. However, the process remains the same. And we believe in the ‘one nation one challan’ motto of the ministry and would like you to focus on just one website that processes traffic challans from across India.
Just visit this website and access your e-challan generated by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. You have three options to access your challan: vehicle number, driving licence or challan number. Make sure, you also type out the ‘captcha’ number properly. We failed the first time due to the ‘caps lock’ on our keyboard. So remember that the captcha is case sensitive.
If you have no fines registered against your vehicle, it will say: ‘Challan not found’. Which is good news. However, if you do have a challen, it will not only show up but also give you a chance to make the payment immediately. In some cases, it may redirect you to the relevant state website for payment. You can pay by debit/credit card or netbanking.
How about e-wallet, you ask? Well, PayTM is only available in Andhra Pradesh, Chennai, Faridabad, Maharashtra and Telangana as of now. Things could change in the future. But until then, the ministry’s website is quite handy for a speedy transaction. So make the most of it.
