What Happens If You Don't Pay Punjab Traffic E-Challan?
If you have been issued an e-challan in Punjab, it must be paid within 60 days of the issue date. This deadline applies to all challans issued by the Punjab Traffic Police.

- 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.
