Wearing a helmet and seatbelts

Not wearing a helmet and seatbelt is one of the most common e-challan violations which you can avoid easily.

Avoid tailgating

Tailgating might get you in an accident or get you involved in a chain of accidents which might lead to heavy e-challan if recorded. Thus, it is safe and best to keep a safe distance.

Follow lane discipline

Few accidents occur due to lane indiscipline and driver’s lethargy. It is advisable to have a rear mirror check on a frequency of a few minutes to ensure safety while changing lanes.

Follow the speed limit

Many people avoid speed-limit signboards and many are unaware of them. A basic rule of thumb: On main roads limit your speed to below 40 km/h and on highways limit it to the range of 40-60 km/h.

Carry all the necessary documents while driving

Not having valid documents can lead to a prompt fine, however you can always opt to show documents through a digital locker in case you don't have the hard copy.

Third-party insurance is a must

As per the motor vehicle’s act it is compulsory to have a third-party insurance. Absence of which might lead to a fine.

As per the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), an e-Challan is valid for 60 days from the date of issuance. This means you have a 60-day window to pay the fine without incurring additional penalties.

Failure to pay your e-Challan within 60 days can lead to several consequences:​

• Additional Penalties- A late fee may be imposed, increasing the total amount payable.​

• Legal Action- The case may be forwarded to the court, and you could be summoned to explain the delay.​

• Licence Suspension- Continued non-payment might result in the suspension of your driving licence until the dues are cleared.​

• Vehicle Registration Issues- Unpaid fines can lead to complications when renewing your vehicle registration or obtaining new driving licences.
