Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check a traffic challan online?

Enter your registration number, challan number or driving licence number on the Parivahan e-challan portal (echallan.parivahan.gov.in) or your state traffic police website.

Are challan amounts the same across states?

No. The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act 2019 sets the framework and maximums; states notify their own compounding amounts, so collected figures vary.

Does an unpaid challan affect insurance?

Not directly. It does not block renewal, but it attaches to the vehicle record and can hold up ownership transfer and re-registration.
