Car Challan Check Online
Car owners usually get flagged for a seatbelt, a signal jump, overspeeding, or parking in the wrong place, and most of these are now caught on camera in big cities rather than issued by a constable on the spot.
Where car challans usually come from
Camera-based enforcement is concentrated on signalised junctions and arterial roads, which is why signal jumps and overspeeding dominate. Parking is the exception: it is set by the municipal body rather than the Motor Vehicles Act, so the amount varies from city to city and a parking challan may be issued by the municipal corporation rather than the traffic police.
The most common car challans
| Offence | Section | Fine |
|---|---|---|
| Not wearing a seatbelt | 194B | Rs 1,000 |
| Driving without a valid licence | 181 | Rs 5,000 |
| Overspeeding | 183 | Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000 |
| Jumping a red light or signal | 184 | Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000 |

| Driving an uninsured car | 196 | Rs 2,000 |

| Parking in a no-parking zone | Local municipal or traffic police rules | Rs 500 to Rs 1,000 depending on the city's own municipal rules |
Fines are the central Motor Vehicles Act rates. Parking is set locally, so the amount varies by city.
