What to Do If You Receive a Wrong Howrah Challan
Verify the vehicle number
First confirm the challan is for your vehicle's WB-06-prefixed number plate — typos in ANPR reads do happen.
Gather evidence
Screenshot of challan details, photos of your vehicle at the stated time, dashcam footage, or witness statements if available.
File a dispute online
Visit echallan.parivahan.gov.in → 'Check Challan Status' → raise a dispute. Alternatively, visit Howrah Traffic Police headquarters in person with proof.
Court option
If the dispute is rejected, you can contest the challan in a local traffic court (Lok Adalat sessions for traffic matters are held monthly in most cities).
