GJ E-Challan: Check and Pay Gujarat Traffic Challan Online
Gujarat’s main enforcement hubs are Ahmedabad and Surat, both with significant camera coverage on their ring roads and highways. Vehicle numbers start with GJ followed by a two digit district code, for example GJ01AB1234.
Fines and variations: the central schedule applies for every offence, including drunk driving at Rs 10,000 for a first offence and Rs 15,000 for a repeat one. Gujarat is a dry state under its own Prohibition Act, so a drunk driving case there can also draw a separate proceeding under that law alongside the Motor Vehicles Act fine.
