E Challan Andhra Pradesh

The Andhra Pradesh e-Challan system was introduced to tackle increasing violations of traffic rules and regulations in the state. In the year 2024, more than 15,000 deaths were recorded. The e-Challan system introduced by the RTOs makes the whole challan system digital, transparent and reduces corruption. It has helped traffic cops and the citizens of Andhra Pradesh. Let us understand the e-Challan system in Andhra Pradesh.

An e-Challan is a digital version of the traditional paper challan that is issued to violators of traffic rules and regulations. In the state of Andhra Pradesh, the e-Challan was implemented to create transparency between the traffic cops and the commuters. It helped reduce bribery in the state and made commuters more vigilant about traffic laws, making the street safer for the public. An e-Challan is issued by a traffic cop who uses tech like CCTVs, speed sensors and handheld devices. E-Challan can be checked online and paid online as well.

E-Challan uses various technological equipment like CCTVs, speed sensors, and handheld devices to monitor roads in Andhra Pradesh.

• CCTVs and Speed sensors are installed at highway roads and signals.
• These CCTVs and sensors capture any violation that occurred as a photograph or video (Violations like overspeeding, no seatbelt or helmets, etc)
• Then it is reviewed by a traffic cop to check its validity
• If a violator is found guilty, the traffic cop will issue an e-Challan to the registered vehicle owner
• Similarly, traffic cops also use handheld devices to issue e-Challans
• Once an e-Challan is issued, a notification is sent to the violator about the e-Challan
• The violator then can check online about the e-Challan and pay the required fines
