How Many Traffic Challans Are Allowed Per Day? – New 2025 Policy Explained
With the rapid expansion of digital traffic monitoring and e-challan enforcement across Pakistan, many drivers are now asking:
“How many traffic challans can be issued in one day?”
Under the updated Traffic Challan Policy 2025, there is no official daily limit on the number of challans a driver or vehicle can receive. Each violation is recorded and fined independently — whether through Safe City cameras or manual enforcement by traffic police.
This article explains the daily challan policy, repeat-offense penalties, camera enforcement rules, and how motorists can avoid receiving multiple fines in a single day.
What Is the Daily Traffic Challan Limit in 2025?
As per the new rules:
✅ There is no maximum daily limit on challans.
✅ You will receive one separate challan for each violation committed.
✅ Both camera-generated and manual challans function independently without restriction.
If a driver violates traffic laws several times within a single day — for example, jumping red lights at multiple intersections or riding without a helmet on different routes — each incident triggers a new challan.
2025 Repeat Violation System — How It Works
To discourage reckless driving, authorities have activated the Repeat Violation Monitoring System which digitally tracks repeated offenses within a 24-hour window.
Violations Monitored for Repetition
- Helmet violations
- Red-light jumping
- One-way driving
- Overspeeding
- Driving without license
- Illegal parking
- Overloading
Penalty Structure (2025)
| Violation Count (Same Day) | Action Taken |
|---|---|
| 1st violation | Standard challan as per 2025 rates |
| 2nd violation | Fine doubled |
| 3rd violation | Vehicle impounding or license suspension |
| 4th and further violations | Mandatory appearance before traffic magistrate |
The system automatically flags high-risk drivers, strengthening enforcement and preventing habitual violations.
How E-Challan Cameras Issue Multiple Fines
With the rapid expansion of Safe City surveillance, camera enforcement is now continuous and location-based.
Multiple challans may be issued on the same day if:
- A rider passes multiple camera points without wearing a helmet
- A vehicle runs red lights at more than one intersection
- A driver overspeeds on separate monitored roads
- Lane or one-way violations occur repeatedly during daily travel
Each recorded event becomes a separate, traceable digital challan.
There is no technical restriction limiting cameras from issuing multiple fines to the same vehicle on the same day.
Manual Challans by Traffic Police (2025 Rules)
Traffic wardens can also issue more than one challan in a day.
Multiple challans may be written:
- If the driver is stopped multiple times for new violations
- If several offenses are discovered during a single stop, such as:
- No helmet
- No valid driving license
- Illegal tinted glass
- Non-standard number plate
Each offense is charged separately, and officers are not limited by daily quotas.
Why There Is No Daily Challan Cap in 2025
The government eliminated any daily challan cap to strengthen traffic discipline.
Primary goals of the 2025 traffic reform include:
- Reduction of road accidents
- Mandatory compliance with helmet and seatbelt laws
- Prevention of reckless motorcycle and car driving
- Elimination of on-spot bargaining and bribery
- Full digitization of offense records via DLIMS & e-challan databases
Provincial traffic departments — especially in Punjab, Sindh, and Islamabad — report a measurable improvement in road compliance since these changes were introduced.
Most Common Violations Leading to Multiple Occurrences
Drivers most often receive repeated challans due to:
- Riding motorcycles without helmets
- Red-light violations
- Wrong-way driving
- Speeding across different routes
- Using a mobile phone while driving
- Illegal or fake number plates
- Driving without a license
- Not wearing a seatbelt
- Illegal parking or passenger overloading
Automatic cameras and mobile units continuously scan for these violations across city corridors.
How to Avoid Receiving Multiple Challans in One Day
Follow these simple rules:
✅ Always wear a helmet on bikes
✅ Keep your driving license with you
✅ Follow lane directions and avoid one-way shortcuts
✅ Use approved excise number plates only
✅ Stop fully at red-light intersections
✅ Obey posted speed limits
✅ Keep tinted glass and illegal modifications removed
Preventing repeat violations is the only effective way to avoid multiple challans.

Final Verdict — Traffic Challan Policy 2025
In 2025, there is no cap on how many traffic challans can be issued per day in Pakistan. Every violation generates a separate penalty. With the introduction of AI cameras and DLIMS tracking, repeat offenders now face heavier fines, vehicle seizures, and even court hearings — making rule-breaking more costly than ever.
The safest option remains simple: obey traffic laws and drive responsibly.
