Now you will get relief from this as soon as the challan is issued, you will not have to go to court
MCD Traffic Challan: A new initiative has been started by the MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) so that after the challan is issued, one will not have to go to court. Actually, the challan issued by MCD can now be paid on the spot. The benefit of this will be that people will not have to go to the MCD court. Now, when your traffic challan is issued, you will be given the facility to pay online immediately.
Under this new feature:
Online payment: Immediately after receiving the challan, you can easily pay it through the online portal or mobile app. This will save you from the need to go to the MCD court.
Digital Challan: You will get a copy of the challan in digital form, which you can store on your mobile or email.
Dispute Resolution: If you feel that the challan has been issued wrongly, you can raise an objection online and get a solution.
Time-saving: Instead of going to court, you can settle the challan from your home, which will save both time and energy.
Officials' promptness: The traffic police and the MCD have tried to ensure that this new process provides relief to people and also improves the efficiency of the administration.
The aim of this new system is to make the process of traffic challan simple and fast for the citizens.
How was MCD Traffic Challan to be paid earlier?
Earlier the process of paying MCD traffic challan was somewhat complicated and time-consuming. It involved the following steps:
Getting manual challan: When you used to violate traffic rules, the traffic police officer used to issue you a challan manually. This used to be a paper challan, which contained the details of the violation and the amount of the fine.
Going to court for payment: After the challan was issued, you had to go to the MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) court or the concerned traffic court. There you had to pay the challan. This process was sometimes lengthy, as there were long queues in the court and it took time to settle the case.
Getting a payment receipt: After making the payment in court, you were given a receipt, which was kept as proof of payment of the challan. By showing this receipt, you could release your vehicle or complete any other legal process.
Time consumption: The whole process used to take a lot of time and effort as you had to make rounds of the court and the work would affect your other work as well.
Dispute Resolution: If you did not agree with the challan, you had to go to court to register your objection and resolve it.
Many people used to face inconvenience during this process, especially if they had to stand in long queues in the court. To overcome this inconvenience, online payment and quick settlement facilities have now been provided.
