How to Check Vehicle Challans via API

Before buying a used car, onboarding a driver, or underwriting a vehicle, it pays to know whether it carries unpaid traffic challans. An e-challan API returns pending challans for any Indian vehicle from just its registration number.

What a challan check returns

• Each pending challan with its amount.
• Challan status — pending, disposed or paid.
• Offence details and date.
• The issuing authority / state.
