Pay Traffic Challan by Paytm UPI in Gurugram Heres How to Do It All Details

Your challan has been canceled and you don't have cash to pay? No problem, now you can pay your challan through UPI also. Gurugram Police has announced that settlement of traffic challan can now be done using Paytm, UPI or other online modes. From Thursday, this facility of UPI payment has been started through apps like Paytm. The aim of this initiative is to promote transparency and convenience.

Gurugram DCP Virendra Vij said the move is in line with the digital payment preferences of Gurugram residents, according to TOI. This year, traffic violators in Gurugram have paid over Rs 31 crore while settling over 14 lakh challans.

To pay your Gurugram Police traffic challan through Paytm app on smartphone, you need to select the “Recharge and Bill Payment” section inside the app and scroll down to locate and select “Challan”.

Here you have to select “Gurugram Police” as the traffic authority. After entering the required details, click on “Proceed” to get information about the penalty amount. Here select “UPI” as payment method and choose the UPI app of your choice. Now complete the process by entering the PIN.

According to the report, DCP Vij said that a new initiative was also launched earlier this year to enhance traffic regulation, which included the use of drones to monitor lane changes.

Gurugram Police has deployed drones equipped with state-of-the-art optical cameras on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, which are helping in issuing challans to those driving rashly. The police department has issued challans worth up to Rs 75 lakh in these areas. This campaign has been started to improve road safety. These drones actively patrol the expressways to identify and challan those driving recklessly.

If any violation is detected, these drones immediately inform the police officers present on the spot, thereby stopping the violating vehicle and imposing a fine.
