When Lok Adalat Wins

If you have several old compoundable challans that are already in court, Lok Adalat is usually the best value. Next Delhi date: 25 October 2026. Prepare with our Lok Adalat token guide.

When Compounding Wins

When a notified compounding scheme is active and your offence is covered, settling within the window can mean paying half. Read half payment rule.

When Contesting Wins

If the challan is wrong, the best “discount” is cancellation. Collect proof and raise a grievance within 45 days under the new 2026 rules.
