In Pune, a technical glitch in the Vahan online system has left many vehicle owners anxious as their paid e-challans remain marked as pending. Despite successful transactions, users are unable to download receipts, complicating their ability to prove payment. Citizens like Rahul Gangwani and Manisha Patwardhan reported that their payments for traffic violations were deducted promptly, yet the system failed to reflect these transactions accurately. Pune's regional transport officer, Archana Gaikwad, confirmed the ongoing issues with the backend processing and receipt generation, assuring that the department is collaborating with the National Informatics Centre to rectify the situation. Vehicle owners have expressed their concerns about potential penalties for unpaid fines and are calling for immediate action from the transport department, including a public advisory to clarify that those who have paid will not face additional charges due to the system error. The department is monitoring complaints and aims to restore normal operations soon.
