Bengaluru traffic police is offering 50% discount on pending fines: Check how to avail the scheme and key dates to remember

Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) have announced a 50 per cent discount on all pending traffic fines from August 23 to September 12. The initiative aims to help motorists clear outstanding dues affordably and avoid legal action, a press note stated.

Motorists with pending challans can pay half the original fine amount during this period. Similar initiatives in the past have received significant responses from the public and helped recover large sums in unpaid fines.

Bangalore Traffic Challan: How to pay pending traffic fines

Residents can pay their pending traffic fines using multiple options:

• Through the Karnataka State Police (KSP) app.
• Using the BTP ASTraM app introduced by the Bangalore Traffic Division.
• By providing the vehicle registration number at the nearest traffic police station.
• At the Traffic Management Centre.
• Through the Karnataka One or Bangalore One websites.

Motorists are advised to check for any pending challans linked to their vehicle registration numbers and make payments before the offer ends on September 12. This provides an opportunity for residents to settle long-standing dues without facing additional penalties.

Similar Bengaluru Traffic Discount Scheme in 2023

In 2023, Bengaluru traffic police had introduced a similar 50 per cent discount on pending fines. The drive collected over ₹5.6 crore and cleared more than 2 lakh traffic violations. Residents responded swiftly, indicating that such initiatives can significantly improve compliance and reduce pending fines in the city.

BTP officials said the current discount drive is part of ongoing efforts to encourage timely payment of traffic fines and maintain smoother traffic management. With multiple online and offline payment options, the police aim to make it easier for citizens to clear their dues.

Motorists are encouraged to take advantage of this limited-time offer and ensure their records are updated before September 12.
