Important Notice: We have come across a fake website https://echallanparivahan.in which is being used to misguide common citizen and fraudulently collect online payment for fake traffic violation cases. The site has a similar URL and look and feel as our own portal https://echallan.parivahan.gov.in. You are request to take further preventive action, wide circulation and if possible, filing of FIR.

 

So how do you pay a Traffic Fine Challan (eChallan).

The old-fashioned way i.e Cash

The new-fashioned way i.e Card/Net Banking

OR

Would you a completely new way i.e BBPS (Bharat Bill Payment Service)

Wait, eChallan is yet to onboard BBPS.

Integration of eChallan with BBPS will be a boon to pay the Traffic Fine violations.

This will reduce the tensions of fine payers and the respective State Traffic personnel.

Fetch n Pay is the best option. Each Traffic Fine Challan contains a Unique Identifier Number, which can be inputted in the input screen to retrieve the Challan.

Nothing else would be required. Individual States need not worry about any IT integration from their sides.

One major Benefit - No fear of payment of eChallan on fake portals.

Prior to eChallan rollout, different States have different mechanisms to collect the traffic fine challans.

The introduction of eChallan changed all that.

            20 States in India have onboarded eChallan to issue and collect traffic fines via eChallan Module. The tagline of eChallan is “One Nation One Challan”.

            The traffic rules violator has multiple payment options to pay the his/her traffic fine.            

            As per July 2019 updates, eChallan system has been implemented so far include Bihar, Chandigarh, Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab and Puducherry.

If you have violated traffic rule knowingly or unknowingly, you can check the traffic challan online and make payment. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), Government of India has initiated online solution for E-challan- Digital Traffic/Transport Enforcement.

Normally the e-challan notice is sent by SMS to mobile phone of the person. The notice in physical format may also be served at the registered address.

The challan status can be checked online to pay the amount. In case of non-compliance of the e-challan notice it may get forwarded to the court.

            Vahan ‐ The Integrated Solution for Vehicle Registration

VAHAN is a highly flexible and comprehensive system that takes care of all the burdensome activities of Vehicle Registration, leaving the Transport Department to deal with more important business issues.

The software enables the processes at RTO/DTO/MLO/SDM involving Vehicle Registration, Fitness, Taxes, Permits & Enforcement to get computerized.

The State Transport Department is governed by both Central Motor Vehicle Regulation (CMVR) and state specific Motor Vehicle Regulation (State MVR).

Consequently, Vahan was conceptualized as a product that would capture the functionalities as mandated by CMVR as well as state MVRs.

Generally, you need to pay the challan within 60 days from the date of issue of the notice. Any non-compliance of the e-challan notices may result in the challan getting forwarded to the court

Vehicles owners can visit the online portal and check if a challan has been issued in concern to their vehicle. They simply have to fill in their respective vehicle registration numbers and then pay the fine by filling the e-form supplied.

The system is integrated across the Regional Transport Offices (RTO) with the help of the Vahan and Sarthi databases
