Violators can pay challans by visiting the traffic police website. A visitor should click on the ‘net banking’ icon on the website and pay the challan through debit or credit card or net banking facility.
An application has also been developed for smart phones users. They can download the Android APP ‘E-Challan Telangana’ through ‘Play store’.
