Your challan went to court? We'll clear it.
When a traffic challan is unpaid or escalated, it becomes a court case under the Motor Vehicles Act — and that's exactly what ChallanPlus specialises in. We assess the case, handle the legal process and get it disposed, so you don't have to deal with summons, hearings or paperwork.
What is a court challan?
A court challan is a traffic violation that has been forwarded to a magistrate court instead of being settled at the roadside or online. This usually happens when a challan stays unpaid, when the offence is serious, or when the vehicle has accumulated pending challans. You may receive a court summons with a case number and a hearing date.

Questions about court challans
What does it mean when a challan is sent to court?
An unpaid or escalated challan is forwarded to a magistrate court as a case under the Motor Vehicles Act, and you may receive a summons with a hearing date. Most such cases are compoundable and can be settled by paying a court-determined fine.
Do I have to appear in court personally?
Often not — an advocate can seek exemption from personal appearance and represent you, plead and pay on your behalf, frequently closing the matter in one hearing.
How long does clearance take?
Simple compoundable matters can close in a single hearing once listed; older or complex cases may need a few. We give you a realistic timeline after assessment.
Can you clear court challans on a vehicle I'm buying or selling?
Yes — clearing court challans before RC transfer is one of the most common things we do for dealers, fleets and individual buyers.
