Over 5.54 lakh traffic e-challan cases settled under 50% fine waiver
Karnataka has collected over ₹16.64 crore in fines after settling more than 5.54 lakh traffic e-challan cases under a 50% waiver scheme. The initiative, which began in June 2026, aims to reduce the backlog of unpaid traffic violations.
Why it matters
The success of the waiver program demonstrates an effective administrative strategy for revenue collection and clearing judicial/police backlogs.
More than 5.54 lakh pending traffic e-challan cases have been settled across Karnataka since the State government introduced a 50% concession on traffic fines, resulting in the collection of over ₹16.64 crore in revenue.
