Delhi Lok Adalat 2026 – Key Facts at a Glance

Figures marked “reported” come from media reports. Always confirm the final schedule on the official Delhi Traffic Police notice.

Why Was the September Lok Adalat Rescheduled?

The 12 September 2026 date was shifted amid security and traffic arrangements in New Delhi during that week. After an intermediate revision, the Delhi Traffic Police advisory confirmed 25 October 2026 as the new date. If you had planned for September, your challans are still pending and you can use the October session.

Which Challans Can Be Settled?

Lok Adalat only handles compoundable traffic offences that have been sent to court. Reports on the October 2026 session say challans pending up to 30 June 2026 are covered. Typically eligible:

• Overspeeding and red-light jumping
• No helmet or no seatbelt
• Wrong parking
• No PUC or fitness certificate
• Number plate violations

Not eligible: drunk driving, hit-and-run, dangerous driving causing injury, underage driving and other criminal cases. See our detailed eligible challans list.

Step-by-Step: How to Settle Your Challan on 25 October

1. Check your challans on echallan.parivahan.gov.in and note which are “sent to court”.
2. Download the Lok Adalat slip from the Delhi Traffic Police website as soon as the window opens. Slips are issued until the daily quota fills, so be early.
3. Note the court complex and bench printed on your slip.
4. Reach the court on 25 October with documents and a payment method.
5. Settle and collect your receipt. The status updates after disposal.

Documents to Carry

• Printout of the Lok Adalat challan slip
• Challan copy or number
• RC, driving licence and photo ID
• Authority letter if a representative is attending

Tips to Avoid a Wasted Trip

• Reach early – queues at Tis Hazari and Karkardooma can be long.
• Don’t go without a slip for the right bench.
• Carry UPI and a card; some counters may face network issues.
• If your challan is not eligible, use the Evening Court or Weekend Court instead of waiting months for the next Lok Adalat.

Missed the Slip? Here Are Your Options

Slips usually run out fast. If you miss out, you don’t need to wait for the next National Lok Adalat. Delhi now has Weekend Traffic Courts every Sunday and second Saturday and Special Evening Courts on working days. You can also check whether the challan is payable on the Virtual Court.
