Bike Challan Check – How to check two-wheeler E-challan status online in India?

Online payment of bike challan has made things easy for riders to pay challan smoothly without the hassle of visiting a police station or court. With the introduction of the e-challan system to generate challans electronically, things have become smooth for the authorized traffic officers and the defaulters to issue and pay challans respectively. Know more on how to check your e-challan status online in this post.

What is E-challan?

As stated above, an e-challan is issued when it is not possible to penalize every traffic rule violator by issuing them a physical copy of the challan. This is why the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways launched what is known as electronic traffic challan or e-challan in short.

This electronic challan is issued to the offender automatically when:

  • When a traffic violation has been reported by a speed sensor or CCTV camera on the road; and
  • A vehicle has been pulled over by the traffic police for violation of a traffic rule

The electronic system generates a challan in either of the two cases mentioned above. Besides this, the system also maintains a complete database of all past traffic offenders.

Note: Not all cities in India have an automated system in place to issue e-challans to offenders. This is why in most places, the challan is issued by the traffic police with the help of online apps that are connected to the RTO database. 

Benefits of E-challan

This new and innovative system of issuing challan or penalty to traffic offenders sure has certain advantages, which are:

  1. Complete transparency in the challan system, ensuring that the violators pay the fine in time, as mentioned in the challan document.
  2. It is equally helpful to the general public, allowing them to make payments for the fine anytime, anywhere, from the convenience of an online app.
  3. Since all data is maintained electronically, it becomes easier to keep a check on any pending challans. In case of overdue, the specific vehicle would be blocked from operating on the road.
  4. One can check challan status online.
