How to Pay PSCA E-Challan – A Complete Guide to Online Payment via ePay Punjab (2025)
Introduction – Digital Transformation in Traffic Fine Payments
The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) has modernized traffic enforcement across Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and other major cities using high-tech ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras.
These cameras automatically:
- Detect traffic violations
- Capture photographic evidence
- Generate e-challans digitally — without manual tickets or roadside stops
Drivers can now check and pay PSCA challans fully online using the official ePay Punjab platform (mobile app or web portal), developed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).
This guide explains the exact step-by-step method to pay your PSCA traffic fine safely and quickly in 2025.
