e-Challan Rules: Traffic police can issue a challan if a person fails to follow traffic rules. Often, people violate rules thinking that since no traffic police officer is present, they won't be fined.
However, e-challans are now issued using CCTV cameras and speed radar guns installed at various locations. Sometimes, people receive an e-challan that does not actually belong to them or was issued due to a technical error. In such cases, paying the challan without verification is not the right approach; you should first investigate the issue and then take appropriate steps.
