Thank you for your response sir.

Sir is there something to worry about for this ?

Nothing to be serious about and to be worried about, and just take precautions in the future.  It is a regular affair and not a criminal offense against any third party or property.

Dear Querist,

 

Challan is an official notification issued by authorities under Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 notifying the violator (Motor vehicle driver) of violations of traffic rules and regulations defined under the Act attracting penalties.

 

In the event of on-the spot challan being issued, the message will be sent to the violator’s mobile number whereas in case of e-challan, such message will be sent to the registered mobile number. The intimation will contain the address of the Court with the date and time where the violator has to appear before a Magistrate and submit the requisite penalty/fine.

 

If you do not submit the e-challan on time, your challan is likely to go to court. Following which the vehicle owner needs to go to court to pay fines. Even on-spot challan is also sent to the court by the traffic police after a period of 60 days, if not paid.

 

Regards,

Palak
