Camera Challan in Delhi: How Speed & ITMS Cameras Issue Challans

Most Delhi drivers now receive challans without ever meeting a police officer. These camera challans come from ITMS junctions and speed cameras. Here’s how they work and what to do.

Types of Cameras in Delhi

Speed camerasOverspeeding on ring roads, expressways and arterial roads

How a Camera Challan Is Generated

  1. Camera captures the violation with image/video and timestamp.
  2. ANPR reads the number plate.
  3. System matches it with VAHAN to find the owner.
  4. E-challan is generated and SMS sent to the registered mobile – under the new rules, within 3 days if your number is in records.

Checking the Evidence

Open your challan on echallan.parivahan.gov.in to view the photo. Check: is it your vehicle? Is the number plate correct? Does the date/time make sense?

Common Camera Errors

  • Misread number plates (e.g. 8 vs B, 0 vs D)
  • Cloned plates used by another vehicle
  • Challans for a sold vehicle

If any apply, file a grievance within 45 days.

Two-Wheeler Detection

Reports say detecting two-wheeler violations remains a challenge, and camera upgrades are ongoing. Expect more helmet and triple-riding camera challans over time.
