e-challan app లో పెనాల్టీ చూసిన వెంటనే కట్టేసారా...? మోసపోయినట్లే...!
What is an E Challan?
An
E challan is a digital document that details the traffic violation made by a
person, along with the fine amount that needs to be paid. One of the reasons
why this has been introduced is to increase transparency within the system,
ensuring that citizens do not rely on bribes to get out of receiving a formal
challan.
Traffic
cops have been given a specific swiping machine that allows them to generate
the challan right on the spot when someone violates traffic rules. While this
is happening, the challan machine also generates an entry on the police server,
due to which citizens cannot bribe officers and expect them to tear up the
challans in return.

Consequences
of not paying your E-Challan
Those
who fail to pay the e-challan must face legal consequences. The Court will send
a summon to your residential address. You must then go to the court and speak
to the judge about your inability to follow the traffic rules. Note that if you fail to go to court on time,
your driving licence will be suspended.
What should you do if you have the wrong E Challan?
One
of the ways that e-challans are issued is with the help of CCTV cameras. The
camera captures a person’s license plate number, and then the challan is issued
to the vehicle owner. Even though this system is more transparent and
efficient, one drawback is that it is not free of all errors. Don’t worry – if
you receive a challan by mistake, you can follow these steps to rectify the
situation:
• Contact the traffic police helpline
number and inform the officers about the wrong challan.
• Send an email to the traffic police
and explain the situation. They will verify your claim and get back to you.
• You don’t have to pay any fees to
cancel the challan.
• You can also try contacting the
police through social media.
Final
Thoughts

e-challan initiative is a very good one designed to offer more transparency and
make the process of paying the challan easier for citizens. If you ever receive
