You may not notice it, but every time you skip a signal or miss wearing a helmet, there is a good chance a camera does. In 2024, over 2.67 lakh e-Challans were issued across the city. If there is even a doubt, it's advisable to check your Pune e-Challan status—before delays lead to added penalties.

If you are unsure whether your vehicle has been issued a challan, you can track your challan status through these trusted platforms:
The Parivahan Sewa portal
Policybazaar Insurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd.
Via the Parivahan Portal
The Parivahan portal gives Pune vehicle owners a direct view of pending traffic violations. You have to:
Visit the official Parivahan website.
Enter vehicle, DL, or challan number.
Enter the displayed captcha code.
Click on 'Get Details'.
If your vehicle has any pending challans, they will be listed on the screen.
You can also check the status of e-Challan in Pune via the Maharashtra e-Challan portal. It provides the same information tailored for local enforcement.
You can also check your challan history through Policybazaar Insurance Brokers Pvt. Ltd.'s official website. It is quick and user-friendly, especially for those already registered. All you need to do is:
Visit Policybazaar.com.
Find the 'Challan Status' tab.
Enter your vehicle number.
When prompted, provide your name and mobile number.
If any traffic violations are linked to your vehicle, they will appear instantly.
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.
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.
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.

Always wear a helmet when riding a two-wheeler.
Fasten your seatbelt before starting the car.
Keep your insurance, PUC, and other papers current.
Never skip carrying your DL, RC, and other valid documents.
Follow traffic signals—even when the road looks empty.
Avoid red light jumps and last-minute lane changes.
If the challan seems wrong—wrong vehicle, wrong location—you have the right to contest it. Go to the Parivahan portal, explain the error, and upload any proof you have. You can also walk into the nearest Pune traffic police station with your documents. They will hear you out and help resolve it.
In this case, visit the local traffic division with your challan number. They will help you understand what triggered it.
At times, yes. If your phone number is correctly updated with your RC, you might get a message when a challan is issued.
They do. Areas like JM Road, FC Road, and Pune Station are frequently monitored, so wrongly parked vehicles often get flagged.
Yes. It is best to clear it within 60 days. Delaying it could lead to added penalties or, in some cases, even court summons.
