E-challan Bihar

The e-challan system has been introduced to enhance traffic discipline and make road safety enforcement more efficient in Bihar. This digital mechanism replaces the old paper-based challan process and allows for real-time recording of traffic violations. By using technology to track and document offences, the system ensures that penalties are issued accurately and transparently, reducing human error and making traffic law enforcement more reliable.

In Bihar, the e-challan system has been implemented through a network of automated surveillance cameras placed at important junctions and busy roads to detect violations, such as overspeeding, signal jumping, and riding without helmets. Once a violation is captured, an e-challan is automatically generated and sent to the registered vehicle owner’s mobile number and address.

The primary benefits of this system include ease of payment, better transparency, and improved accountability for both citizens and authorities. Motorists can check their pending challans online, verify details, and pay fines digitally through secure platforms like the Parivahan portal.

What information is provided on the e-challan Bihar?

Basic Challan Information

On a Bihar e-challan, you can view the exact date and time of challan issuance. There is also a unique identification number to help you track and verify the details of your violation online. The challan mentions your vehicle’s registration number for identification and verification.

Violation Details

You can also find information related to the location in Bihar where the violation occurred on the e-challan. Then, there are details about the specific offence you have committed and the rule you have broken. The fine amount is also clearly mentioned.

Evidence and Verification

There are direct links to photographs captured by surveillance cameras on the e-challan to support the claim and avoid discrepancies. You can validate the authenticity of the challan and understand the violation’s time using this evidence.

How to pay an e-challan in Bihar?

Pay via Parivahan e-challan

Step 1

On the Parivahan e-challan website, enter your vehicle registration number or driving license number.

Step 2

Click on the pending e-challan in Bihar that you see on the screen to proceed with paying it.

Step 3

Use your preferred payment method, like UPI or a credit card, to complete the secure transaction.

Step 4

The “Status” tab on the homepage can give details on the payment status - completed or pending.

Time limit for paying the e-challan in Bihar

In Bihar, once an e-challan is issued, you have 60 days from the date of issuance to make the payment. Payments can be made via the official Parivahan portal or at authorised traffic police offices. Clearing the fine within this 60-day window is vital to avoid additional penalties and maintain a clear driving record.

If you fail to pay the e-challan within 60 days, additional late fees or penalties may be added to the original fine amount. Persistent non-payment can lead to stricter action, including the suspension of your driving license or the blocking of your vehicle registration until dues are cleared. In some cases, a traffic court summons may be issued, and your vehicle could even be seized for non-compliance. It’s always advisable to settle the challan promptly within the allowed period.

What to do if a wrong Bihar police challan has been issued?

At times, the traffic police department’s system tends to have errors or there is an incorrect data entry, leading to drivers receiving challans for violations they didn’t commit. If you think the Bihar police has wrongfully issued a challan to you, take appropriate action to avoid penalties and legal complications. Gather the required evidence and show it to the required department for rectification. Here’s the step-by-step process to report a wrongfully issued challan in Bihar, both offline and online.

On the link that appears, enter the required details, such as name, phone number, and challan number.

Select the Challan State as “Bihar” and the Challan Issue mentioned on the notice issued to you.

Describe your issue with the challan and why you think it has been wrongly issued to you.

Upload an image of the challan and the proof you’ve gathered before submitting. Note down the ticket number.

Offline

Go to the nearest police station in Bihar where the challan was issued.

Mention your reason for visiting and show the incorrect Bihar police challan.

Provide all supporting evidence, including driver’s license, RC book, photographs, etc.

Request the officer for a resolution by getting the challan corrected or cancelled.

Track the status of the complaint and follow up till the issue is addressed.
