How to check if you have a Challan?
Many people in Kanpur don't realize they have been fined until they try to sell their vehicle or renew insurance.
- Visit the Parivahan E-Challan Portal.
- Enter your Vehicle Number (e.g., UP 78 XX 1234).
- Enter the last 5 digits of your Chassis Number or Engine Number.
- View all pending and settled challans.
How to Pay?
You can pay via the Parivahan portal using UPI, Credit Card, or Net Banking. If the challan has been moved to "Virtual Court", you must visit vcourts.gov.in to settle the fine.
[!WARNING] Ignoring E-Challans can lead to your vehicle being blacklisted, preventing you from selling the vehicle or passing the RTO fitness test.
