Now, pay your traffic challan with Paytm

NEW DELHI: Mobile payment platform Paytm has enabled payment of traffic challan on its platform. Users can simply log onto the app, tap on 'Traffic Challan', enter their vehicle number and proceed to make the payment after verifying a few other details.

"Traffic challan payments in India largely happen at select counters and in cash," says Senior Vice President at Paytm, Kiran Vasireddy, "We are glad to partner with the state traffic police departments to enable challan payments on the go," he adds.

The service will generate a digital invoice and the customer’s surrendered documents will be dispatched via postal services by the respective police department, the company said in a statement.

"This is a new stride in our vision to add convenience to every payment use-case in the country," says Vasireddy.

Currently live in Mumbai, Pune and Vijayawada, the company has stated that it will be expanded to other cities soon.
