In the last decade, Gurgaon (also called Gurugram) has become one of the financial hubs of the country. People from different cities move to Gurugram for business and career opportunities. But more people means more traffic on the roads, resulting in an increase in traffic violations.

The responsibility of imposing traffic rules and regulations falls on the Gurugram Police to ensure everyone’s safety. Actions like overspeeding, jumping a red signal, driving without a valid licence, etc., can lead to challans in Gurgaon imposed by traffic police authorities.

To levy traffic fines on offenders, Gurgaon Police uses the e-challan service. This article talks about how e-challan works and how you can pay traffic fines online in Gurgaon.
