Hyderabad: The government of Telangana on Wednesday, January 10, extended the last date for discounts on pending traffic challans on vehicles in the state owing to heavy rush and to ease the financial burden on the general public. The extension of the concessional deadline on pending challans has been revised from January 10 to January 31.
The Telangana traffic police have advised those with pending challans against their vehicles to clear them via the e-challan website while the discount lasts.
The discounts on the fines are divided according to the category of the vehicle. For example, if one has to pay 1000 rupees, then they will be required to pay 25% of the amount i.e. 250 rupees. Once the payment is done, the remaining amount will be automatically waived.
Although the discounts on challans apply to all types of vehicles in Telangana, they are not available for all violations.
A netizen on X shared a screenshot of before and after discount fine amounts, which remained the same.
In response, the Hyderabad Traffic Police X handle clarified that the discounts on challans apply only to violations prior to November 30, 2023.
