How Can I Pay for an e-Challan in Pune?
If you have received a traffic challan in Pune, there is no reason to panic. The city offers multiple ways to settle it, online for convenience or offline if you prefer personal interaction.
Via the Parivahan Portal
For many, the Parivahan portal is the most efficient option. It's accessible across India and recognised by Pune's traffic enforcement system. Here's how to pay via Parivahan:
Visit the Parivahan website.
Enter your Challan/Vehicle/DL number.
Click 'Get Details'.
If your challan appears, click on 'Pay Now'.
Complete your Pune e-Challan payment using net banking, UPI, or cards.
You can also pay through the Maharashtra State e-Challan system.
Offline Payment
For those who prefer settling things face to face, Pune still offers offline payment options. Many on-duty traffic officers are equipped with handheld POS machines. You can pay the fines right there. If not, visit the nearest Pune Traffic Police station with your challan reference number. You can pay there using cash, card, or UPI—whatever is easiest for you.
