The new facility allows motorists to pay traffic challans immediately at the spot through secure digital payment methods, including debit cards, credit cards, and UPI transactions. Officials say the initiative has been launched in response to increasing complaints of online scams involving fraudulent websites and fake e-challan payment links.
Under the system, traffic personnel equipped with POS machines will be able to collect payments directly from violators, eliminating the need for drivers to navigate external payment links.
