The Telangana government today issued a GO offering substantial discounts to motorists on their pending challans.
According to the GO, the waiver of fine amounts is 80% for two-wheelers and three-wheelers, 90% for TSRTC buses, and 60% for Light Motor Vehicles and Heavy Motor Vehicles.
The orders will come into immediate effect.
According to officials, e-Challan pendency has reached huge numbers in recent years. Owners of many two-wheelers and three-wheelers are not able to pay their pending fines as the amounts are more than the costs of the vehicles themselves.
Hence the officials made a proposal to the government to offer discounts on payment of the traffic e-Challans, which was accepted.
