What happens if the traffic challan is not paid in Haryana?

Haryana, being one of the fasted growing states in the country experiences huge traffic volume on daily basis. To streamline the process of imposing penalties for traffic rules violations, the Haryana Traffic e-challan is an efficient and time-saving mechanism. In Haryana, if you violate traffic rules and regulations, you will be issued with an e-challan, which can be paid either offline (by visiting the nearest RTO or Traffic Police office) or through online modes by using the Haryana Traffic police website

If the traffic law offenders in Haryana don’t pay their e-challan on time (within 60 days of its issuing date), he/she will be visited by a traffic police/police constable for the collection of fines. In case the fine is not paid during the home visit, the offender will be issued a court summons. Failure to appear in a court hearing would lead to the suspension of the defaulter’s driving license.

In case a driver’s license is seized in an on-the-spot challan, then also the defaulter has to appear in court to get it and make the challan settlement.
