Online traffic fine paying website NOT WORKING
Mysuru: The Karnataka State Police‘s traffic fine payment website (https://payfine.mchallan.com:7271) has become non-functional, compelling violators to visit Police Stations to clear their penalties.
This technical snag comes at a time when traffic penalty collections are already low across the State. In Mysuru city alone, as of December 2024, pending fines amount to a staggering Rs. 240 crore.
Previously, the website allowed violators, except those in Bengaluru, to conveniently pay fines online and check outstanding dues against their vehicles, eliminating trips to Police Stations. However, with the site now unresponsive, citizens are left with no choice but to pay fines in person.
The introduction of AI-based Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras under the Intelligent Traffic Management System had significantly streamlined the traffic penalty system by automatically generating challans for violations.
