E Challan Check Online: Punjab, Karachi, Islamabad

To check an e-challan online, go to the official site for the place where the vehicle is registered: echallan.psca.gop.pk for Punjab, the Sindh Police website (or the TRACS app) for Karachi and Sindh, and islamabadpolice.gov.pk for Islamabad. Enter your vehicle registration number โ€” and, in Punjab, your CNIC or chassis number โ€” to see any pending challans. Here is each one step by step.

E challan check: which website for which city

E-challans are issued by camera systems run by each province or territory, so each has its own official website.

WhereOfficial siteYou enter
Punjab (Lahore and other cities)echallan.psca.gop.pkVehicle number + CNIC or chassis number
Karachi and Sindhsindhpolice.gov.pk or the TRACS appVehicle registration number
Islamabadislamabadpolice.gov.pk (E-Challan Verification)Vehicle number or CNIC

โš ๏ธ Careful here

Use only the official government sites. Many look-alike "challan check" websites and apps collect your CNIC and vehicle number. Check the address bar ends in gop.pk or gov.pk.

E challan Punjab online check (PSCA)

Punjab's e-challans come from the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) cameras.

  • Open echallan.psca.gop.pk.
  • Enter your vehicle registration number.
  • Enter the CNIC of the registered owner, or the chassis number.
  • Search to see pending challans, often with the camera picture of the violation.

๐Ÿ’ก Worth knowing

If the car is registered to someone else โ€” a family member or a company โ€” use their CNIC, or the chassis number.

E challan check Karachi and Sindh

Karachi's camera-based e-challan system is run by Sindh Police. Check your vehicle on the Sindh Police website or the official TRACS citizen app by entering the registration number. Registration and token tax are a separate matter handled by the Excise department.

E challan Islamabad check

Islamabad's e-challans are issued by the Islamabad Capital Police using Safe City cameras. On islamabadpolice.gov.pk, open E-Challan Verification and search with the vehicle number or CNIC. Disputed challans can be raised at the ICT Police counter at the Pakistan Asaan Khidmat Center.

What to do about a wrong challan

Cameras make mistakes, and number plates are sometimes cloned.

  • Check the picture attached to the challan โ€” is it your vehicle?
  • If not, raise a complaint through the official portal or traffic police office for that city.
  • Report a suspected cloned plate to the traffic police straight away.
  • Keep screenshots of the challan and your complaint.

Avoid challans in the first place

Most camera challans are for a few common violations: signal violations, speeding, no helmet, no seat belt, using a phone while driving and lane violations. Unpaid challans can lead to extra charges and, in some cities, action against the vehicle โ€” so check every few months even if you think you have none.

Once you have found a challan, see How to Pay E Challan Online (JazzCash, Easypaisa).

Staying safe online

The same rule applies to challans as to online shopping: never type your CNIC or bank details into a site you reached from a random message. How to Spot a Fake Online Seller in Pakistan covers the warning signs.
