Don’t worry if you have received an incorrect postal challan

Though we take due precautions to see that only genuine violators of traffic rules are punished, however, there could be instances of postal challans being inadvertently issued to incorrect addressees on account of:-

  • incorrect registration number due to poor quality of image.
  • zeroing on an incorrect person by oversight.
  • someone illegally using your registration number on his/her vehicle.
  • the person to whom you had sold the vehicle may not have got it officially transferred in his/her name.
  • errors in the vehicle ownership database.
  • Incorrect reporting of date, time or location of traffic violation.
