Overview

  • The offer covers unpaid fines issued as e-challans by the traffic police and allows settlement at half the original amount.
  • Payments can be made via the KSP app, the BTP ASTraM app, Karnataka One and Bangalore One portals, the Traffic Management Centre, or at traffic police stations using a vehicle registration number.
  • Officials say the goal is to reduce the backlog of long-pending penalties and improve compliance with traffic rules.
  • Authorities indicate the rebate provides a window for citizens to settle old violations without facing legal action.
  • Similar drives in 2023 resolved nearly 52 lakh cases statewide and collected about Rs 152 crore, with a Bengaluru round alone recovering over ₹5.6 crore and clearing more than 2 lakh violations.
