E-Challan Rates December 2025 — Updated Fine List for Punjab, Sindh, Islamabad & Motorway
The December 2025 E-Challan update outlines the latest traffic fines and enforcement measures now active across Pakistan. With expanded Safe City camera networks, improved ANPR systems, and greater inter-department cooperation, traffic violations are being detected more efficiently than ever before.
This updated fine list covers current penalties in Punjab, Sindh (Karachi), Islamabad, and on the Motorways, helping drivers stay fully informed about applicable charges for helmet violations, overspeeding, mobile phone use, illegal number plates, and more.
Motorists are advised to keep their vehicle registration records, official number plates, CNIC details, and mobile contacts updated with excise departments. Simple precautions such as wearing helmets, using seat belts, carrying a valid driving license, and obeying speed limits are not only legally required—they also significantly reduce accident risk.
If you receive a challan that appears incorrect, always verify it through the official online portal or visit your nearest traffic office before making any payment.

How Camera E-Challans Work
Modern Safe City and Motorway ANPR cameras automatically detect violations including overspeeding, red-signal jumping, helmet non-compliance, and unreadable number plates.
Process summary:
- Cameras capture the violation.
- Images record the number plate, location, and timestamp.
- Data uploads to provincial servers.
- Vehicle records are matched to excise databases.
- Challan is generated and sent via SMS notification and made available on online portals.
Each camera challan is issued with photographic proof. Dispute requests require formal submission along with supporting evidence.
Key Updates for December 2025
- Expanded camera coverage across major cities and highways, increasing detection rates.
- Punjab helmet enforcement adjustment: first-time manual stops may receive warnings (camera challans remain fine-based).
