How to File a Complaint for an Incorrect E-Challan in Chandigarh?

  1. If the e-challan is issued to you in error in Chandigarh, you can file a complaint for a violation of your rights. This process is as follows

    • Refer to the challan number and collect evidence supporting your claim of a mistake.
    • File a complaint via the Chandigarh Traffic Police portal or Parivahan feedback channel.
    • You can also reach out to the Chandigarh Traffic Police helpline or the office from which you received the challan.
    • Follow up on your complaint and retain the reference number for future use until the issue is settled.

What Happens If You Don’t Pay Your Chandigarh Challan?

  • Unpaid challans may be sent to virtual courts for further legal action.
  • Outstanding dues can pose an obstacle to RC/fitness renewal, ownership transfer, or new registration.
  • In case of serious offences or repeated violations, the licence may be suspended.
  • Fines accumulate quickly. The data from ACKO's 2025 challan revealed cases where some drivers had a total of ₹ 61,000 from just 5 challans and ₹ 31,000 from 2 offences. Clearing your dues early is definitely cheaper.

What Is an E-Challan in Chandigarh?

An e-challan refers to an electronically generated traffic violation ticket. Chandigarh Traffic Police has adopted the NextGen e-Challan system. The system uses handheld devices and CCTV/ANPR cameras installed throughout the city to detect violations, identify vehicles by registration numbers, and capture photo evidence.

The use of cameras and device-based enforcement mechanisms has been rapidly increasing: According to ACKO's 2025 report, 23% of the challans issued in Bengaluru were Digitab (camera/mobile-device)-based detections, with the fine sent directly to the driver without any prior notice.
