Telangana's Traffic Treat: Get Up to 90% Off on Challans – Grab the official offer

Delhi : On Tuesday, the Telangana government released a notification enabling residents to settle outstanding challans for a fraction of their original cost. The government has instituted a programme whereby it grants individuals 60 to 90 percent reductions on their traffic challan orders. Reports in the media suggest that there are about two crore or so outstanding traffic tickets in the state.

Nitin Gadkari, the Minister of Road Transport and Highways, informed the Parliament earlier this year that in 2022, over 4.73 million challans of ₹ 7,563.60 crore were issued throughout India. While ₹ 2,874.41 crore had been collected, ₹ 4,654.26 crore remained outstanding.

"Telangana State, Hyderabad has stated that e-Challan pendency is in huge numbers in recent years and many vehicle owners have not paid e-Challans due to the Covid-19 pandemic," the decision read. Numerous traffic challans were issued at the same time that contact and non-contact enforcement methods were used. It is really challenging to remove the massive pendency.

Duration of Scheme to get the relief

Beginning on Tuesday, December 26, the campaign will run through January 10, 2024.

The government would provide an 80% discount on two- and three-wheeler automobiles as part of the programme. On the other hand, buses operated by the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) would receive a 90% discount. On challans issued for big motor vehicles, such as trucks, and small motor vehicles, such as automobiles, the reduction will be sixty percent.
