AHMEDABAD: In a move to simplify the payment of traffic e-challan fines, the Gujarat government has introduced a new facility allowing vehicle owners to pay penalties online through the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS).
Under Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi and the guidance of State Police Chief Vikas Sahay, the State Traffic Branch of Gujarat Police, in collaboration with the State Bank of India (SBI), has launched this digital initiative to make fine payments more accessible and transparent.
Previously, motorists could pay fines through the 'One Nation One Challan' system using options such as net banking, debit/credit cards, UPI, or PoS machines. Now, with the inclusion of BBPS, users can directly pay their traffic fines through popular apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, BHIM Pay, and YONO by selecting 'State Traffic Branch, Gujarat' in the payment menu.
