More Than 5 Pending Challans? Patna Traffic Police Wants Driving Licences Cancelled

Patna Traffic Police doesn't want you to ignore your challans anymore, as doing so could soon become far more costly for motorists in Patna. In a major crackdown on repeat traffic offenders, the Patna Traffic Police has initiated action against vehicle owners who have accumulated multiple unpaid challans. According to reports, authorities have identified motorists who repeatedly violated traffic rules and failed to clear the penalties imposed on them. The move is aimed at improving compliance with traffic regulations and discouraging habitual offenders from ignoring e-challans.

Five Pending Challans Could Trigger Action

The key trigger for the proposed action is the number of unpaid challans. As per reports, motorists with five or more pending challans could face stricter action, including the cancellation of their driving licences.

To facilitate this process, the traffic police have reportedly sent a proposal to the District Transport Officer (DTO) seeking cancellation of licences belonging to repeat offenders who have failed to clear their pending penalties.

Nearly 500 Drivers Identified

Patna Traffic Police has reportedly identified 493 motorists who had accumulated five or more challans and had not paid them as of October 2026. The proposal has now been forwarded to the transport department for further examination.

It is important to note that the licences have not yet been cancelled. The transport department will first verify the cases before taking a final decision. The current step is a proposal seeking action against repeat offenders.
