Now be ready for the e-challan of vehicles on four-lane roads of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in Himachal if your documents are not in order. The state Department of Transport is going to introduce a software functional that will use the data generated from toll plazas of the NHAI to issue e-challans. The National Informatics Centre (NIC) has developed the software for the transport department.

Sources say that many vehicles that are entering Himachal without paying the state tax, may get noticed in the new system to be implemented by the Transport Department. The software is designed to catch offenders on various counts such as the fitness of vehicles, payment of the state tax of the All-India Tourist Permit (AITP) fee and the lack of pollution or insurance certificates.

Bhupinder Pathak, NIC official working for the Transport Department, says the Delhi Government is also implementing the project. The data generated at the toll plazas of the NHAI will be used to issue e-challans to the offenders.

He says that the NHAI toll plazas generate all data giving the entire information regarding the vehicle crossing the barriers. The plaza authorities will upload the information regarding the vehicles passing through to the transport authorities every day. The transport authorities, with the help of this software, will analyse the data provided by the NHAI. The software will help detect the violation of norms by vehicles and automatically issue e-challans.
