In a recent development<\/a>, the state government has written to the central government asking permission to link outstanding challans with the bank accounts of motorists considering a whopping outstanding e-challan amount of \u20b92,429 crore due from 42.89 million traffic violators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Traffic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Did This Happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seems to be a topic which needs more attention as  the state government has been able to recover only 35% of the penalties levied through e-challans during the last five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, over 7,53,36,224 motorists have been fined for traffic violations through e-challans by traffic policemen using handheld devices and CCTV networks after  e-challans came into existence in January 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that the penalties levied amounts to Rs 3,768 crore across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, the motorists in the country have paid only Rs 1,339 crore or 35% of the outstanding amount as of March 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, thes E-challans are issued to motorists for over-speeding, lane-cutting and jumping signals among other violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable To Recover Outstanding Amount<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This issue has become a concern as the state government has been unable to recover the outstanding amount, despite many drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has resulted in the state transport department writing to the central government for permission to link the e-challans to the bank accounts of the motorists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a possibility for this as \u201cThe bank account linked to the Fastag and for payment of annual motor insurance will be linked with the outstanding e-challans,\u201d according to an official from the transport department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding, \u201cThis will enable us to recover the outstanding amount whenever the motorist attempts to top-up his Fastag or pay his vehicle insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the Banking Act was a central government subject, the linking of the bank accounts needed its approval, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirming the news, the source said, \u201cWe have sent the proposal recently and expect a positive response from the center.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is noteworthy here that most of the outstanding amount was from private car owners, said another officer from the state transport department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding, \u201cRecovery from public transport vehicles is easier and done during the annual renewal of their permits. However, this is not possible in the case of private car owners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that the regular drives by the traffic police had failed to reap the expected results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s see how this works out in the coming future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
