On 13 September 2025, a National Lok Adalat will be held in many cities including Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Its goal: help people clear old traffic e‑challans or small pending traffic cases, with possible waivers or reductions in fines.
What Relief Can You Get?
You might get up to 75% waiver (discount) on your traffic challan.
This applies to compoundable traffic violations — for example: driving without helmet/seatbelt, overspeeding, wrong parking, missing PUC certificate, etc.
Serious offences are not covered (like drunk driving, hit-and-run, negligent driving causing death).
How to Participate & What to Do

You need to check if you have unpaid traffic e‑challans that are compoundable and pending.

Bring them to the Lok Adalat with your appointment details.
Attend the Lok Adalat session
On the scheduled date (13 September), go to the court complex specified in your token/notice.

A judge will review and decide the settlement.
You may have to pay the reduced amount on the spot.
What Limitations & Conditions Apply?

The decisions made in Lok Adalat are final and binding — no appeal after the award
