What Happens If You Don't Pay Kerala Traffic E-Challan?
If you have been issued an e-challan in Kerala, it must be paid within 60 days of the issue date. This deadline applies to all challans issued by the Kerala Motor Vehicles Department. Challans are issued for reasons such as driving over the speed limit, crossing traffic signals, riding without a helmet, and violating other traffic regulations.
If you fail to pay on time:
- The Kerala traffic police will follow up: You may receive reminders via SMS or email on your registered mobile number.
- Additional penalties may apply: The fine amount can increase when the case is escalated to the Virtual Court.
- Court summons may be issued: Persistent non-payment can lead to a physical court summons requiring your personal appearance.
- Driving licence may be suspended: For serious or repeat offences in Kerala, the RTO can suspend your driving licence.
- Your vehicle's insurance or fitness renewal may be blocked: Parivahan portal services are frozen until all pending challans are cleared.
