CARS24, India’s foremost AutoTech company, is revolutionizing the experience of vehicle owners across the nation with the launch of its innovative eChallan service. Starting today, this cutting-edge feature empowers private car owners to easily check and settle their pending traffic fines through the user-friendly CARS24 website and mobile application.
The eChallan service introduced by CARS24 simplifies the often complex process of managing traffic penalties, particularly when they involve inter-state traffic departments. Vehicle owners can now enter their car’s registration number, and CARS24 will promptly display all outstanding traffic fines associated with their vehicles. This transparent and straightforward process returns control over fine management to car owners themselves.
The introduction of this service marks a significant stride in simplifying the task of clearing pending traffic fines. This newly launched solution will benefit vehicle owners nationwide, ensuring a seamless, accessible, and convenient process, especially for those who frequently drive across state borders or embark on cross-country road trips.
In today’s digital age, receiving traffic eChallans has become a common occurrence, issued by Indian traffic authorities and cameras to notify individuals of traffic rule violations. Recent data from the road transport ministry reveals that in 2022 alone, fines totaling INR 1372 Crore were imposed on drivers and vehicle owners.
Under the Indian Road Rules, effective since July 1989 and still in force today, all Indian drivers are expected to adhere to traffic regulations to ensure orderly traffic and road safety. Violating these rules is considered a serious offense. Enforcing these traffic laws plays a significant role in reducing road accidents by issuing challans to violators, encouraging them to follow the rules. To streamline the process of settling these eChallans, CARS24 now offers a user-friendly online platform.
Online payment for eChallans not only offers convenience but also saves valuable time. Vehicle owners can choose from various payment methods, including NetBanking, UPI, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, and digital wallets, making the payment process more accessible than ever. Opting for online payment enhances transparency and provides an electronic payment record for future reference.
Gajendra Jangid, Co-Founder at CARS24, expressed his enthusiasm for the launch, stating, “This eChallan service was born from our customers’ requests. We understand that dealing with challans can be quite a hassle. With this eChallan service, our primary goal is to simplify the process for vehicle owners while also assisting the government in effective challan management. We’re confident that this initiative will truly empower vehicle owners and revolutionize how they handle their traffic challans.”
CARS24 offers a comprehensive solution for car owners through this service, providing instant access to challan details, unmatched convenience with a user-friendly platform, and robust data encryption for security, ensuring peace of mind when handling challans.
