It starts with a message ping on your phone — "Traffic violation recorded. Please pay your e-challan." There is no honking, warning, or cop at the signal, but a digital slip stating that you broke a rule. In Madhya Pradesh, the e-challan system is a silent enforcer of traffic discipline. Between 2019 and 2023, it issued over 20 lakh challans and collected nearly ₹69 crore in fines, indicating that the state is moving toward stricter, tech-driven road monitoring. But many still don't understand how it works. Can you check your challan online? How to pay for it? What was the violation? These are real concerns, especially now that everything from red-light jumping to missing number plates is tracked digitally. Read on to understand all about the Madhya Pradesh e-challan.
