If you break a traffic rule while driving in Odisha, you will receive an e-Challan, a digital challan issued in your name for a traffic violation. Odisha Traffic Police personnel or RTO can issue an e-Challan to traffic violators. The vehicle's owner will get the e-Challan particulars via SMS to their registered mobile number. Violators must pay their e-Challan fine within the stipulated time to avoid harsh punishments and additional penalties.
