- •If the photo shows a different vehicle or incorrect details, take a screenshot for evidence.
- •Use the 'Raise Grievance' option on the portal to file a complaint and upload supporting documents.
- •With proper evidence, the challan will be canceled; if needed, contest it in 'Virtual Court'.
Key Questions Answered
Do not pay the fine immediately or panic. Instead, visit the central government's official e-challan portal to check the details, date, location, and attached photograph.
You can visit the official e-challan portal, select the 'Raise Grievance' option, fill out the complaint details, and upload supporting evidence like your vehicle's correct photo, RC book, or parking receipts. If the case proceeds further, you can also use the 'Challan Contest' option on the Virtual Court portal.
Once you pay the fine online, you legally admit to the mistake, making it virtually impossible to recover the money from the government treasury.
