Parking laws applicable to traffic challans
Parking and obstruction offences are principally governed by the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, applicable State rules, traffic-control orders, road signs and local enforcement directions.
| Provision | Relevance to parking |
|---|---|
| Section 117 | Provides for parking places and halting stations. |
| Section 119 | Requires compliance with mandatory traffic signs and driving regulations. |
| Section 122 | Prohibits leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position or in circumstances causing or likely to cause danger, obstruction or undue inconvenience. |
| Section 127 | Deals with removal of vehicles abandoned, left unattended or improperly parked in specified circumstances. |
| Section 177 / 177A | Provide general penalties and penalties for contravention of regulations where applicable. |
| Section 201 | Provides a penalty for keeping a vehicle on a public place so as to impede the free flow of traffic; removal charges may also be recoverable where applicable. |
The exact offence and fine depend on the facts, location, traffic sign, applicable notification and the provision recorded in the official challan. For that reason, this page does not use a fixed generic "parking fine" amount.

Can a wrongly issued parking challan be disputed?
If the vehicle, place, date, offence or other particulars appear incorrect, review the evidence available with the challan and use the official grievance or issuing-authority procedure. Do not pay an unknown third party to "cancel" or "settle" a challan.

Frequently asked questions
Can I check a parking challan by vehicle number?
Use the official eChallan portal and enter one of the identifiers supported by its current challan-status page, which may include vehicle or challan details.
Is "wrong parking" the same as obstruction?
Not necessarily. A challan may be issued under different provisions depending on the parking location and conduct. Section 122 addresses dangerous or obstructive positioning, while Section 201 specifically addresses obstruction to the free flow of traffic.
Can a vehicle be removed or towed?
The Motor Vehicles Act contains provisions dealing with removal of certain vehicles and recovery of removal charges. Whether towing/removal is authorised in a particular case depends on the applicable statutory conditions and local enforcement framework.
Should I use the old "Parking Violation Fine Against Tag" screenshots?
No. Government portals change over time. Use the current official eChallan or Karnataka One interface and follow the instructions displayed there.
