Firstly, let\u2019s understand a little more about e-Challans for traffic rule violations in Punjab. Traditionally, all forms of traffic rule violation challans were issued on paper with a lengthy process of filing them and paying for them at the local police station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, after the establishment of the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA)<\/a> in 2015, a Punjab Police Integrated Command and Control Centre (PPIC3) was created to manage and oversee the law and order situation in various cities of Punjab. This included the installation of security cameras in all of the major cities of Punjab to make them safer for the residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The e-challan system, however, uses special Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and Red Light Monitoring System (RLMS) to monitor traffic on the roads and generates automatic challans for all traffic violators which are then sent to their homes. The identity of the vehicle owner is determined using the ANPR photos and the Motor Transport Information Management System (MTMIS) that also helps in the process of vehicle verification in Punjab<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also important to note that even if someone else was driving the vehicle, the owner is responsible for paying the penalty within 10 days to prevent the vehicle from being impounded or seized by the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering that your vehicle might be seized by the traffic police in Punjab due to unpaid traffic rule violation challans and that you might not even be aware of any violations if the car is shared between different members of the family and registered under your name, it is important to keep a check online for any possible traffic fines or dues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
