Stricter traffic laws go into effect on april 1st, the start of a new fiscal year, and those with outstanding challans risk having their driver's license suspended or even seized. According to a News18 article, the new rules allow for a three-month driving license suspension in situations where there have been unresolved e-challans for more than three months.
 
Additionally, receiving three challans for rough driving or red light offenses in a single fiscal year may result in a three-month driving license suspension.
 
The information has not been independently confirmed by india Herald.

The administration was concerned about the low recovery rates of e-challans, as only 40% of the fines were paid by residents when the decision was made.  The government is also thinking about raising insurance rates for drivers who have two unpaid challans from the previous year to make sure that drivers follow the law.
 
But the administration has also taken into account the possibility that challans may occasionally be pending as a result of late notifications or technical issues.  According to the article, the government will put in place a strategy for a thorough operating system in this area to guarantee that car owners are informed of any outstanding monthly challans or penalties, as well as minimum requirements for traffic cameras.
