 How to check and pay traffic E-Challan online?

E-Challan is an electronic traffic violation Ticket system which is recently launched by Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) in the city of Lahore in collaboration with the City Traffic Police. The project has received a welcoming response from the citizen of Lahore.

The system uses most advance Automatic Vehicle Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to identify the violators of the traffic rules. The system is installed across different roads of the city. The violators receive E-Challan on the addresses which are registered against their vehicle IDs. The E-Challan contains information regarding how the driver violated the traffic rules. The picture of the vehicle is also posted on the Challan paper.

The major problem faced by people is that the violators remain unaware of the fact that they have been fined. Because in some case the violated had changed their address registered against their vehicle IDs and have not officially changed it in the documents due to which the E-Challan never reaches their home. The other reason which is why people do not receive E-Challan at their residence address is because of a technical problem in the system. Therefore, if you want to know, either you have violated the traffic rules or not, we have given some instructions that you can follow which will help you know about your traffic rule violation status and how can you pay your E-Challan online.

How to check E-Challan online:
