The Delhi government, under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, is preparing to implement a new digital traffic challan system as part of amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. This initiative aims to create a structured mechanism for traffic enforcement, improve compliance, and enhance road safety. The new system will limit direct court appeals, requiring violators to either pay their fines or challenge them through a grievance redressal officer within 45 days via an online portal. If no action is taken, the challan will be considered accepted, and payment must be made within an additional 30 days. Serious offenders, defined as those with five or more violations in a year, could face suspension of their driving licenses. Violations detected by cameras will automatically generate challans, which will be sent electronically to the violators. Failure to pay fines could lead to restrictions on vehicle-related services and potential impounding of vehicles. The government emphasizes that this digital approach aims to enhance transparency and curb traffic violations.
