How to Check Pending Traffic Challans Online Without Any RTO Visit
Easily check and verify all pending traffic challans online using official portals.
If you have ever received a traffic challan and are not sure whether it’s still pending or paid, you don’t need to visit the RTO anymore. Now, you can easily check pending challans online from your phone or computer in just a few minutes.
What Is a Traffic Challan?
A traffic challan is a fine issued by the traffic police when a driver breaks road rules—like not wearing a helmet, jumping a red light, or overspeeding.
With the new e-Challan system, all challans are recorded digitally. This means you can check them online anytime.
Why You Should Check Challans Online
Checking your challans regularly helps you:
Avoid extra fines or penalties for late payment
Keep your vehicle record clean
Ensure your challan is not issued by mistake
Save time by avoiding visits to the RTO or police station
How to Check Pending Challans Online
There are two main ways to check your challan online in India:
1. Using Parivahan Website (Official Govt. Portal)
Follow these simple steps:
Go to https://echallan.parivahan.gov.in/
Click on “Check Challan Status.”
Enter one of the following:
Your vehicle number, or
Driving licence number, or
Challan number
Enter the captcha code and click “Get Detail.”
