- Select the pending challan(s) and click Pay Now.
- Verify with OTP sent to the vehicle-linked mobile number.
- Pay by UPI, card or net banking and download the receipt.

When You Can’t Pay Online
Online payment is disabled when a challan has been sent to court. Then you can:
- Pay the proposed fine on the Virtual Court portal if listed there
- Settle in the National Lok Adalat (next: 25 Oct 2026)
- Book an Evening Court slot or visit the Weekend Court
- Appear before the regular court, with an advocate if needed
