Payment Deducted but Chandigarh Challan Status Not Updated?

If the payment amount is deducted from your bank account but the eChallan status is not updated, avoid making an immediate second payment. First save the bank confirmation, transaction reference, payment receipt or screenshot of the successful transaction.

Recheck the challan on the official portal after some time. If the status continues to show unpaid, use the grievance or help facility available on the eChallan portal or contact the relevant traffic authority with the challan number and payment details.

Chandigarh Traffic Complaint or Assistance

For a traffic-related complaint, citizen assistance or other Chandigarh Police service, use the current official Chandigarh Police portal. The department publishes available citizen-service and complaint facilities on its website.
