For e-government purposes, Chandigarh Traffic Police has been implementing the e-Challan system, which is a one-stop pan-India project of NIC that provides on-spot cashless payment of traffic fines and challans. The e-Challan system for violation of traffic rules is advisable under the Motors Vehicle Act 2019. 

The system is a convenient way to handle traffic violations and has ensured that traffic violation penalties are gathered and processed efficiently and transparently. The new rules also came into action in Chandigarh to rein in increasing road accidents and traffic infringements.

An e-Challan is a computerised piece of paper that informs a person of a traffic violation and the amount the person must pay for it. Among its goals is establishing an enhanced enforcement system for traffic rules by improving its functions and performance in overall operations. 

The e-Challan system is intended to enhance the work environment by introducing the web/app-based interface, which will replace the manual Challan form and Challan printing and provide some new features Challan entry, CCTV/Postal Challan creation or conversion to e-Challan, Challan Dispatch to Court (Court referral), Challan Payment, Reports Generation and complete management by the user.

The system is ideal for the current challenges which the Police department is facing concerning tracking challan record payments, reports, etc., by using the latest technology, which is flexible to use and deploy at the ground level.
