In India, for any traffic rules violations, a fine is imposed and the offender should pay the fine. The process was tedious earlier where traffic officials will issue the fine challan and the offender has to pay after verifying the various documents. To simplify the process and digitize the traffic challan under the digital India age, the eChallan system has evolved to streamline the traffic eChallan process using online payment gateway.

E-Challan is an online document of any traffic rules violation done by the offender on Indian roads. The e-Challan was introduced to bring traffic violation fine challans under digitalization and accessible under a single platform, so that the citizens of India have all the details, status, and download the copy from the online portal.
The traffic department in India issues the e-Challan to all traffic rule offenders if they violate the rules and regulations prescribed by the government of India. The traffic department has installed cameras on every signal, junctions and major road points, if any one violates the road rules, the camera captures the vehicle registration details. Based on the vehicle registration and rules violation the e-challan will be issued to the offender. The offender details will be accessed through registration number – address, phone number, vehicle owner name will be picked from there. Using this information, the RTO offices release the e-Challan to the vehicle owner through the registered mobile number an SMS will be sent with fine details.
With the help of this e-challan online system, users can do an e-challan status check, get all their e-challan details and make their traffic e-challan payment.
