Why Every Driver Should Check It Regularly

  • Overlooking pending fines can lead to extra penalties, or trouble during token tax renewal or vehicle transfers.
  • If you recently sold a car or bike — fines might still be linked to your CNIC until the transfer is fully processed. This system helps catch those.
  • Helps drivers stay alert about camera-based traffic enforcement, because many challans are now generated automatically — not by traffic wardens.

A Few Important Tips & Cautions

  • Always use the official portal for your province/city (for Punjab: PSCA website; for Sindh: Sindh Police e-Challan portal). Don’t rely on random third-party links.
  • Enter your CNIC number exactly as per record, and avoid spaces or dashes unless specified.
  • If you recently changed vehicle ownership, allow some time for the database to update — old challans might still appear.
  • Keep record of payment receipt or downloaded slip — in case any dispute arises.
