Under the new traffic rules, if the challan is not challenged within the stipulated time, it will be automatically deemed accepted. If a person wishes to challenge his challan, he will also be provided with the facility to do so online. The government said that the challan can be challenged online first. If the matter is not resolved after the online challenge, you can challenge the challan in court. However, to do this, one will have to pay 50 per cent of the fine first.
Not only this, but if a person violates traffic rules five times in one year, their driving license (DL) can also be suspended.
