Over 1000 machines have been handed over to traffic constables all across the city on January 12, in accordance with the traffic department launching its e-challan system.
As these machines have been rented out from private firms, a convenience charge of Rs 9.5 will also have to be borne by the offenders along with their fine. The department has also tied-up with State Bank of India to help them handle the online challan payments.
If you happen to be a motorist not carrying your card on the fateful day, the traffic department has another option for you. You will be given a 15-day window period to pay the fines through netbanking. However if you’re unable to pay your fine by the 15th of your stipulated date, you’ll be required to pay an additional Rs 10 everyday’s delay thereafter.
