Pay Your Challan Online

One fine morning you wake up on the right side of the bed and decide to go to work early with hopes of coming back home early as well. So, you start your car and just drive away happily. Finally, after many days you feel that providence is on your side as the traffic is low and you made a good decision to go to work early.

Suddenly, you stop at the red light and you see a uniformed police officer coming to you and by the time you realise, he knocks at your window and hands you a piece of paper for driving without a seat belt that you had completely forgotten while you started driving. So, the next step is that you need to park your car and reach for your wallet.

But suddenly you find there is no cash in your wallet to pay the police officer but after a long conversation with the cop, he lets you go and asks you to submit your license. He assures you that you will get it back after you pay the penalty. One must remember that paying challan on time is also another task and in case you don't pay the challan in the stipulated time be prepared to spend long hours in court.
