check-echallan-intro

To curb the rising threats of speeding, rash driving, drunk driving, etc., the Government of India has amended the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 in 2019. Understandably, a direct result of the act has been a rise in Mumbai traffic police fine checks, a crucial step to implement the strict rules and norms that have been introduced by the amendment.

Further, to facilitate the collection of traffic fines, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has introduced the E-challan system to facilitate payment of traffic fines online.

Take a look through the new fines levied in Mumbai and how you can pay them online.

Implementation of e-Challan in Mumbai

Mumbai, the financial capital of our country, was one of the first cities to incorporate digital setup. Consequently, the e-Challan system was also instilled in Mumbai. It is updated instantaneously when an offender is identified by the police and authorities.

As a result, checking the Mumbai traffic police e-Challan status is crucial for offenders since not clearing fines can compound them.

What is e-Challan & How it Works?

E-challan, or Electronic Challan, is the digital version of the age-old challan issued by police and authorities to offenders. A shift to the digital setup allows faster updates and the option for offenders to clear their fines easily online. It has been introduced across India to enhance the speed and processing of traffic violation penalties. It was an initiative by India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).

An e-challan is issued if you violate any traffic norm. To monitor whether vehicles are following stipulated traffic rules, several cameras are placed strategically on each road in the city. If you are found violating any traffic rule, you will receive an SMS notifying you of the issuance of an E-challan. You will then have to follow up with its payment within 60 days of issuance.
