TN challan: Check status and pay Tamil Nadu challan online

Tamil Nadu has embraced digital traffic enforcement, replacing traditional paper notices with a fully online e-challan Tamil Nadu system that enables vehicle owners to check and pay traffic penalties without needing to visit a police station. TN’s traffic police use advanced systems, including ANPR cameras and real-time monitoring, to detect offences such as overspeeding, signal violations, and non-use of seatbelts or helmets, then automatically generate digital fines that are uploaded to the Parivahan e-challan portal. 

Vehicle owners in cities like Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai can now perform an online challan check, review detailed violation information and complete payment securely via official portals or apps like ACKO. This digitised approach improves transparency, helps reduce paperwork and ensures drivers across the state stay compliant with traffic rules.

What is an TN E Challan?

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.
