How Does the TS E-challan Work?
No matter how responsible you are when driving on Indian roads, you still have some chances of violating the traffic rules. The number of traffic violations in India is in fact very high, which often makes it difficult for the authorities to monitor these violations. Thus, the e-challan system was introduced in all Indian states so that traffic violators could be instantly penalised and the overall process could get smoother. In the section below, we will thus talk about TS e challan and all about it.
Defining TS E-challan
TS e-challan is an alternative to the paper e-challan that was issued to traffic rule violators in the state. Technology has made the entire process of issuing challans and its payment easier. Through this electronic system, the traffic rule violator is instantly sent a message on their mobile phone for violating any and all traffic rules.
How Does TS E-challan Work?
Here is how TS e-challan works:
- A surveillance camera is installed by the transport department to keep a check on traffic rule violations
- As soon as there is a traffic violation, the camera captures the number plate of the vehicle violating the traffic rule
- This captured image is sent to the central server, which is verified by traffic officials
- Based on the image received, the traffic officials verify the nature of traffic violations and their fine
- Then, the e-challan detail is sent to the registered mobile number of the traffic rule violator
- Next, when the individual pays for the pending challan, they will also receive an acknowledgment that the payment has been approved
