Uttarakhand Launches New E-Monitoring System for Toll Tax: Automatic Challans for Document Violations

• Uttarakhand's Transport Department and NHAI have implemented an automatic challan system at seven major toll plazas, eliminating the need for physical document checks.
• The e-detection system, operational since January 19, automatically checks vehicle data via Fastag at toll plazas, linking to the Vahan Portal.
• In the first phase, the system targets vehicle fitness and renewal for vehicles completing 15 years, issuing e-challans for non-compliance.
• Future phases will expand to include pollution certificates, tax, and permits, with challans automatically issued and notifications sent to registered mobile numbers.
• Drivers can pay challan fines online via the Parivahan Sewa portal or the digital link provided with the challan.
