Unpaid challans can lead to: summons from the court, warrant of arrest in serious cases, court hearing and potential higher penalty, difficulty in renewing vehicle registration or driving licence. E-challans remain linked to your vehicle number and must be cleared before certain RTO services.
Some states like Delhi, Rajasthan, and Haryana have announced challan amnesty/compounding schemes where old pending challans can be paid at reduced amounts. These are announced periodically. Check your state's transport department website or local traffic police announcements for current schemes.
