IndiaIn Karnataka, India, more than 554,890 pending traffic e-challan cases have been resolved since the state government introduced a 50% reduction on traffic fines.

As a result, the state collected approximately ₹16.64 crore in revenue during the period from June 21 to July 3, 2026. The program aimed to reduce the backlog of unpaid traffic fines and encourage compliance among motorists. Authorities reported positive public response, with many drivers taking advantage of the concession to clear their dues.
