CH E-Challan: Check and Pay Chandigarh Traffic Challan Online
Chandigarh is a compact union territory rather than a full state, and isn’t tied to any of the other 33 state pages on this site. Its enforcement covers India’s most planned city, with camera coverage across its sector grid. Vehicle numbers start with CH followed by a two digit district code, for example CH01AB1234.
Fines and variations: the central schedule applies in full.
A note on the URL: Chandigarh already has a city page at this same /e-challan/chandigarh/ URL from the earlier 50-city batch. Following the same resolution we used for Delhi, this is one combined union-territory-and-city page rather than two, so there’s no separate nested URL to build for a Chandigarh city page.
