Traffic rules in India are regulated by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways which keeps a tab on traffic rule violators. They are then penalized as per law, which is by way of issuing a challan. A challan defines the said violation by the person as well as defines the fine applicable for violation.
However, as is evident from the number of vehicles and drivers operating in the country today, it is not humanly possible for the traffic police to keep a check on each and every violation that happens on the road. Moreover, even for the ones that do come under the radar, it may not always be possible for the policeman to get hold of the running vehicle and issue them a physical copy of the challan.
So Does that Mean the Violators Escape Scot-Free? Not really. This means that the traffic police has an alternate system in place to issue a challan to those who cannot be physically grabbed at the scene of crime. It is called e-challan. Let us learn a little more about what an e-challan is and how to do a quick online challan check in case of a two-wheeler challan.
