Karnataka motorists have a final chance today, September 12, 2025, to settle their pending e-challan fines with a 50% discount. This waiver scheme, introduced by the Karnataka Traffic Police, began on August 23, 2025, and has provided vehicle owners with a window to regularise their records at half the cost.
The rebate is available for challans raised for various traffic violations, excluding serious offences like drunken driving, overloading, and dangerous driving. Citizens can pay their dues conveniently through the official Karnataka State Police (KSP) app and the BTP ASTraM app, integrated with challan payment services.
Clearing challans not only helps drivers avoid additional penalties, late fees, or legal notices but also supports smoother traffic management and enforcement. A clean record ensures hassle-free renewal of vehicle documents such as insurance and fitness certificates.
This discount scheme is part of the government’s efforts to strengthen compliance and improve road safety. By reducing the financial burden, it motivates more citizens to clear pending fines promptly. Similar initiatives in the past have witnessed a surge in payments, easing the load on enforcement authorities.
