The state of Tamil Nadu, home to popular cities like Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, and many more, has taken the initiative to simplify this procedure by introducing the e-challan system. This electronic system allows citizens to check their pending fines in just a few steps on their mobile phone, laptop, or other device without waiting in long queues or visiting multiple offices across the state. Let’s take you through the step-by-step process to do a TN challan check and pay the traffic fines.
E-challan is an electronic ticketing system implemented by the Tamil Nadu Traffic Police as a way of replacing manual challans (tickets) when it comes to traffic violations. It's designed to increase efficiency and reduce paperwork in the process. Data captured through e-challan is used by traffic police, pollution control departments and transport authorities to identify those who continually break road rules. This makes it easier for these organizations to take steps toward road safety.
An TN e challan has the following information:
The fine or penalty for the traffic violation.
Traffic violation details like overspeeding, drunk driving, etc.
Location of the violation and other info like challan number, images, etc.
What's more, with e-challan it's also easy for violators to pay fines online through internet banking or mobile wallets, which encourages people to pay their fines quickly instead of having to wait weeks or months for a long court hearing.
