Delhi has rolled out a new digital traffic challan framework that mandates motorists to either pay or contest their fines within 45 days of issuance. If no action is taken, the challan will be automatically accepted, leading to additional penalties. A significant change is the requirement for drivers to deposit 50% of the fine amount before contesting in court. This system aims to reduce the backlog of over 2.5 crore unresolved traffic challans issued between 2021 and 2024. Furthermore, habitual offenders, defined as those with five or more violations within a year, may face licence suspension and restrictions on vehicle-related services. The updated framework leverages technology, with e-challans being generated through automated systems, making it harder for drivers to ignore fines. Overall, the new rules emphasize timely compliance to avoid severe repercussions.
