Process to check status and pay e challan at Hyderabad (Cyberabad) Online
First of all let us understand what an e challan is. A Challan is a way of crediting the money to anyone’s bank account by a form. Now you may be accustomed with challans – these are produced especially in the traffic signals for not obeying the traffic rules. If this is the case then e challans are nothing but those challans that are produced electronically. The e-challans have become increasingly popular in India. Especially in the state of Hyderabad, they are now fully functional.
Traffic e-challan at Hyderabad
The government of Andhra Pradesh has enabled the payments via e-challans. Earlier when this system was not present, a person would have to go through a lot of hassle to pay their challans. Now they can pay the money due with challans at the spot. The government of Hyderabad has enabled this system for this purpose with the help of PDAs.
Along with this new hassle less challan payment system there is also an online wing to check the status. This means that if there is a traffic offence registered under your vehicle, you can check it online. All the details including the fine amount, the nature of the traffic offence and the total amount of fine paid, will be shown there in that government database which you can access.
Types of Challans
Now that we have understood what an challan will be like, let us see the types that are there.
Any type of violation of the motor vehicle rules of Hyderabad (or Cyberabad as they call it), will lead to the formation of challans. But there are two distinctive types of challans that you must be aware of –
- Investigative: The investigative of challan is created when the investigation cameras have caught you breaking some road rules. This challans print the defilement pictures mechanically and they are printed out on challan itself electronically.
- Digital camera: This type of challan is cut when the cops on field take pictures of you doing the deed. They maintain these pictures for their future reference and the defilement is then given a challan.
The cops at Hyderabad have kept records of all the defilements or e-challans that have been committed recently.
