New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta announces a new time-bound and fully digital system for traffic challan settlement, mandating payment or contest within 45 days and requiring a 50 per cent deposit before approaching courts. The revised framework, aligned with amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, introduces stricter penalties for repeat offenders, instant e-challan delivery, and daily notices for non-payment, with vehicle-related services to be blocked for defaulters. The move aims to enhance transparency, enforce road discipline and improve road safety across the national capital.

A fully digital system for traffic challan settlement is a comprehensive, electronic approach to managing traffic violations, allowing for end-to-end processing—from issuance to payment and dispute resolution—without requiring physical presence at police stations or courts. As of May 2026, major cities like Delhi are implementing strict, time-bound digital frameworks to enhance road safety and enforce compliance.

Key Components of Digital Traffic Challan Systems
  • Automated Issuance: AI-powered 4D radar, CCTV cameras, and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems automatically detect violations (e.g., speed, red light) and generate e-challans.
  • Instant Notification: E-challans are delivered within three days of the violation via SMS, email, or WhatsApp, detailing the violation and fines.
  • Virtual Court Integration: Eligible, lower-level offences can be settled through the Virtual Court portal without court visits.
  • Digital Lok Adalat: Dedicated online platforms allow for the speedy disposal of large numbers of traffic cases.

  • 45-Day Deadline: Violators have 45 days to pay the fine or contest it online.
  • Automatic Admission: If no action is taken within 45 days, the challan is considered accepted, and payment is due within 15 days.
  • 50% Court Deposit: To contest a ticket in court after a rejected grievance, a mandatory 50% deposit of the fine is required.
  • Non-payment Consequences: Persistent non-payment for 90 days results in the blocking of vehicle-related services (like RC/DL renewal) and potential vehicle impounding.
  • Serial Offenders: Anyone with 5+ violations within a year faces potential license suspension.
