Pakistan is crippled
by poor traffic situation; a problem which has also suffered through the hands
of corruption in the past. To overcome these problems and eliminating human
interface, Punjab Safe Cities Authorities (PSCA) introduced the E-Challan
system in Lahore last year in September.
The E-Challan system,
initially launched in Lahore, is now being replicated in other cities as well
which includes the capital, Islamabad.
In order to identify
the traffic violators, ANRP cameras are installed at various locations
throughout the city. Following the identification process, the challans are
then dispatched to the home address of the violators which is stored in the
database.
This process not only
eases the lives of the authorities but also for the perpetrators, who have the
facility to pay their dues over the internet. Previously, this process was
extremely tedious and involved hours of standing in long queues.
There is denying that
this was a much needed step. This process has eliminated human interference
which means the chances of corruption are practically zero. Additionally, it
has also helped the culprits to pay their fines much quicker.
Now that we understand
how E-Challans are generated and what the benefits of it are, let’s talk about
what are the steps if you are served with a notice.
Checking E-Challan Online
If you have broken any traffic law then expect a challan to be delivered
at your door within a week. Here is how the challan copy looks like:
The authority informs
the culprits in two manners:
1. Physical copy of the
challan will be sent at your home address
2. Information regarding
the challan will be updated on their website
o To check, visit
the website
o Enter the *CNIC and
vehicle registration number
o Download the challan
form on your device
*Note that the car
must be registered under your own name. If it isn’t then enter the CNIC of the
actual owner of the car.
Paying the E-Challan
Currently, the system
is fully operational in Lahore but the process of paying the dues in other
cities will also be the same (unless we post otherwise).
Here are few of the
methods through which you can pay the e-challan fine:
How to Pay E-Challan

delivered at your home address to the nearest branch of Bank of Punjab or
National Bank of Pakistan and pay the fine there.

standing in long queues.
- If the E-Challan is not delievered

How to Pay E-Challan
