e-Challans are digital traffic challans that are automatically issued to traffic offenders. Strategically placed traffic monitoring equipment, such as speed sensors and CCTVs, is used to identify traffic violators. Whether you forgot to wear your seatbelt or jumped a red light, you are likely to get an e-challan in Chhattisgarh. Typically, an e-Challan is valid for 60 days from its date of issue. The penalty has to be paid within this timeframe to avoid extra fines and/or jail time. Read the information below to learn more about the e-Challan system in Chhattisgarh—payment process, status details, and raising a complaint.

Here are some steps that Chhattisgarh vehicle owners and drivers can follow to avoid getting an e-Challan for traffic violation:
Wear a helmet if you are driving a two-wheeler.
Carry valid documents like the insurance certificate, vehicle's RC, and pollution certificate.
Follow the speed limits and avoid dangerous driving.
Park your vehicle in a designated parking spot.
Wear a seatbelt if you are driving a car.
Adhere to the traffic signals. Do not jump red signals.
If you get a wrong e-Challan, you can complain through the Parivahan Portal. Here are the steps you should follow:
Open the Parivahan portal.
Click on the "Complaint" tab.
You will be directed to a page where you can submit a grievance.
Enter your details, vehicle details, and e-Challan number.
Specify the reason for your grievance and enter the CAPTCHA.
Click on "Submit".
The e-Challan will be issued in the vehicle owner's name. So, the e-Challan penalty needs to be paid by the vehicle owner to avoid extra fines and/or legal issues.
The penalties for not paying your e-Challan fine within the stipulated timeframe may vary depending on the state regulations and traffic laws.
It is recommended to carry copies of the vehicle's RC, valid insurance, and pollution certificate at all times. The driver's licence should also be available for routine traffic inspection checks.
Do not buy a second-hand vehicle if it has outstanding e-Challans, as legally, the vehicle's ownership cannot be transferred until the pending e-Challan payments have been made.
