eChallan v/s Spot Challan

What is eChallan?

Echallan is a non contact enforcement system to curb violations and implement stricter traffic discipline among the traffic commuters. eChallans are always backed by a photo evidence only. There are multiple ways a vehicle is issued an echallan. One method is with Surveillance Cameras, which take the violation photos which will be printed on the eChallan. Second is with Digital Cameras, the cops will take snap shots of the violations on the field. Third is through Speed Laser Gun Cameras which capture the speed along with the photo of a speeding vehicle. Fourth is through Red Light Violation Cameras which take very High Resolution Image of vehicle jumping Red Signal.

These photos are stored for record purposes. At present we have kept record of all the e-challan and violation information for all vehicles. You can check the e-challan status on our website. Photos of eChallans which have been generated after 1-May-2013 can be checked Online through our website.

What is Spot Challan?

Spot Challan is the traditional method of issuing challans or traffic fines to a vehicle. Any vehicle can be issued a Spot Traffic Fine or Spot Challan for violation of traffic rules.

Can you convert a Spot Challan to eChallan or vice versa?

No, a Spot Challan cannot be converted to eChallan or vice versa as both challans are raised in completely different way. If a vehicle is challaned for the same offense at same date and time then one of the challans can be waived off.

Got a Wrong Traffic Fine?

In recent years, through the use of technology, Bangalore Traffic Police has increased the number of evidence-based challans issued for traffic violations. This has made it easier to confirm to the public that the fines were issued justifiably. However, there continue to be instances where people believe that they have been erroneously fined. The police have now come up with a procedure for redressal of the such complaints.

Here are the options available to the public.

The complainant can visit the automation enforcement center at 13 th floor, Public Utility Building, M G Road and can verify the evidences collected by the center before sending the notice.

If the violation is raised through video surveillance then the video clip can be viewed in our web site. If the violation is raised through SMS/facebook/e-mail/IVRS, then evidences provided by the citizen's can be verified. If the violation is raised through field traffic violations(FTVR) entered by junction constables, the Officer i/c of automation center will verify the FTVR slips to check for any mistakes. If mistake is detected or the complainant provides any evidence for non-usage of vehicle,then the notice will be cancelled.

The Additional Commissioner (Traffic) has also clarified that the letter sent to the owner of the vehicle which is involved in the violation is only a police notice, and not a charge sheet. Therefore the notice can be cancelled any time if mistakes at the time of making entry are detected.
