Enter your vehicle registration number to see every pending traffic challan — violation, location, date and fine amount — and settle it online securely via UPI, card or net banking. RTO-verified data, all Indian states covered.
An e-challan is a digital traffic fine issued electronically by state traffic police or by an automated camera. Unlike a paper ticket handed over at the roadside, it is recorded against your vehicle registration number in the state transport database, which means you can receive one without ever being stopped — most commonly for over-speeding, jumping a red light, or riding without a helmet.
Because the challan is tied to the vehicle rather than the driver, it follows the car or bike. This matters when buying a used vehicle: outstanding challans travel with the registration number to the new owner.
You can also check directly on the national portal echallan.parivahan.gov.in by choosing "Check Challan Status". GaadiInfo covers both the national portal and the separate systems several state traffic police forces run, which is why a search here sometimes surfaces challans a single portal misses.
Amounts are set under the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019, and states may apply their own schedules, so the figure on your challan is the authoritative one.
An unpaid challan does not simply lapse. After a period that varies by state it is referred to a traffic court and converted into a court challan, which usually carries a higher amount and may require a hearing. Outstanding challans also block routine paperwork — transferring ownership, renewing insurance, and obtaining a fitness certificate can all be held up until the record is clear.
Court challans cannot be settled through the ordinary online route and need to be resolved through the court. GaadiInfo handles these as well; the fee is higher because it covers legal representation on your behalf.
Traffic enforcement is administered state by state, and each maintains its own records. You can check a specific state directly: Delhi, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat or Rajasthan. Searching by vehicle number above covers every state at once.
You can also look up vehicle RC details to confirm registration, ownership and insurance validity for any Indian vehicle.
Enter your vehicle registration number in the search box. GaadiInfo fetches pending challans from official state transport records and shows the violation, location, date and fine amount within seconds.
Yes. Once your pending challans are listed, tap Pay and settle securely via UPI, card or net banking. The payment is routed to the official state portal and you get a receipt instantly.
Unpaid challans can escalate to a court summons, additional penalties, and problems during RC transfer, insurance renewal or fitness certification. Clearing them early avoids all of this.
Most challans appear within 24 to 72 hours of being issued. Camera-based challans can occasionally take up to a week to sync with the state portal.
Not for the fine itself, but ignoring a court summons issued for an unpaid challan can result in a warrant. Settling the challan before the hearing date avoids this entirely.
