> Cameras caught one motorcycle 89 times without a helmet and 24 times on red. Police are now stopping vehicles with more than 20 unpaid challans.

**Lahore traffic police have impounded a motorcycle with 113 unpaid e-challans worth Rs 190,000** after stopping it on Walton Road on Tuesday 6 October 2026. The camera record showed 89 challans for riding without a helmet and 24 for jumping red lights, and the bike was sent to Factory Area police station, [24 News](https://www.24newshd.tv/06-Oct-2026/motorcyclist-fined-rs190-000-violating-traffic-rules-113-times-in-lahore) and [ProPakistani](https://propakistani.pk/2026/10/06/lahore-traffic-police-seize-motorcycle-with-113-e-challans/) reported.

If you ride in Lahore without a helmet, the cameras are counting, and the bill keeps growing until someone stops you.

## Who the police are stopping

Lahore's Chief Traffic Officer, Syed Abdul Raheem Shirazi, said the city's ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras flag repeat offenders, and the crackdown concentrates on vehicles with **more than 20 unpaid violations**. "The crackdown against motorists who have failed to pay their e-challans will continue," he said, according to 24 News. Officers are also checking for tampered number plates on motorcycles and cars.

This is not a one-off. In July a Lahore milkman's motorcycle was found with Rs 100,000 in unpaid challans from 50 helmet violations, [PakWheels reported](https://www.pakwheels.com/blog/lahore-milkman-rs-100000-unpaid-e-challans/). The traffic police have also written to government departments whose vehicles carry unpaid e-challans, asking them to pay.

## E challan check: see what is pending on your bike or car

1. Open the Punjab Safe City portal, **echallan.psca.gop.pk**, or the PSCA Public Safety app.
2. Enter your plate number exactly as printed, plus your 13-digit CNIC (or the chassis number if the vehicle is not in your name).
3. Pay through ePay Punjab from your banking app, an ATM or a bank counter.

Full steps for Punjab, Islamabad and Sindh, and what happens if you leave a challan unpaid, are in our [e challan check guide](/guides/cars/e-challan-check-online-punjab-sindh-islamabad).

## What it means for you

- **Check before you are stopped.** Challans pile up silently; the first notice many riders get is a police stop and an impounded bike.
- **Buying a used bike or car?** Run the check on the seller's plate first, and ask for the challans to be cleared before the transfer. Our [vehicle transfer fee calculator](/tools/cars/vehicle-transfer-fee-calculator) shows the rest of the cost.
- **Wear the helmet.** Riding without one was 89 of this rider's 113 challans.

## Frequently asked questions

**How do I check e-challans on my motorcycle in Lahore?**

Enter the plate number and your 13-digit CNIC (or chassis number) at echallan.psca.gop.pk or in the PSCA Public Safety app, then pay through ePay Punjab.
