UP Cancels Non-Tax E-Challans Issued Between 2017-2021
The Uttar Pradesh Transport Department is canceling old traffic tickets (e-challans) from 2017 to 2021 that did not involve taxes.
This means if you had a ticket for a minor issue, it might be cleared.
If the ticket was in court, it will now be marked as finished, and cases past the time limit will also be canceled.
This also helps to renew vehicle documents.
But, tickets for taxes, serious offenses, or accidents will not be canceled.
The process will be done in 30 days, and you can check your challan status online.
The Uttar Pradesh Transport Department is canceling non-tax e-challans issued between 2017 and 2021.
