What is an E-Challan?

An electronic challan is a digital traffic ticket that was introduced by the Sindh Police or Karachi Traffic Police and Excise & Taxation Department Sindh in 2025. Unlike traditional methods, the challan is now issued by automated surveillance and cameras. The data is then linked to the registered car number and CNIC stored on the official online portal. This way, the records are more transparent, and equal rules are implemented for citizens.

How the Karachi E-Challan System Works?

The digital ticketing system in Karachi is under the Safe City traffic-monitoring initiative. It mainly uses:

1. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is used along with camera-based surveillance.
2. Upon the occurrence of a traffic offence (e.g. running a red light, over speeding, wrong-way driving, lack of a seatbelt/helmet or the use of a mobile), the camera captures the date, time, location and captures a photo.
3. It checks the vehicle in the government’s database and issues an e-challan based on owner’s CNIC or vehicle information.
