The world is going digital, and so are the traffic rules and regulations. An E-Challan allows people to pay their outstanding challan via an online payment method without having to physically visit the police station. Surat, Gujarat has now accommodated itself to this technology and upgraded its traffic system. If the cameras on the road catch you indulging in any traffic offence, a challan will be issued in the name of the vehicle's owner. You can easily check our outstanding challan via the official website of the Surat traffic police or via the eParivahan website. You may either choose to pay the challan online or physically visit the police station to pay.
