Lawyered Launches ChallanPay: New Platform Resolves 98% of ₹350 Cr+ in Indian Traffic Challans
Lawyered, a leading legal-tech provider in India, has launched ChallanPay, a new platform designed to streamline the complex process of traffic challan resolution. In just two months, the platform has processed over ₹350 crore in challans, achieving a 98% resolution rate.
The launch targets a significant gap in India's mobility sector, where a fragmented system leads to inefficiency and massive revenue loss.
The Multi-Crore Problem with Indian Traffic Fines
India's traffic compliance system is notoriously inefficient. According to the company:
-
Over 8 crore traffic challans are issued annually.
-
This amounts to approximately ₹7,500 crore in fines.
-
A staggering 85% of these fines remain unpaid, clogging the judicial system and creating hassles for vehicle owners.
For both private car owners and commercial fleet operators, resolving these fines has traditionally been a time-consuming puzzle of navigating different state portals, RTO databases, and court procedures.
How ChallanPay Provides a Single-Window Solution
ChallanPay tackles this fragmentation by offering a unified, single-window platform for all challan-related issues.
Himanshu Gupta, Founder & CEO at Lawyered, explained the vision : “ChallanPay simplifies this with a unified platform that consolidates national, state, and RTO databases, tracks payments in real time, and guides users through court cases—all while ensuring maximum savings and efficiency."
Key features of the platform include :
-
Pan-India Coverage : Users can discover and resolve challans from multiple states in one place. For example, fines received in Manali, Chandigarh, and Delhi during a single road trip can be managed through one interface.
-
Real-Time Tracking : Instant alerts notify users of new challans, helping them avoid missed payments and further penalties.
-
Streamlined Resolution : The platform digitizes the entire process, removing the need to visit physical offices or engage different lawyers for different jurisdictions.
Gupta added that Lawyered is building the “Default Rail of Mobility Compliance,” a digital-first legal infrastructure layer for the entire mobility ecosystem.
A Boon for Fleet Operators and Vehicle Owners
The platform has seen strong adoption from its key target audiences : fleet operators and individual vehicle owners.
For fleet operators, ChallanPay offers a way to manage compliance for hundreds of vehicles, reducing operational overhead and legal risks. For individual users, it offers freedom from the "time, money, and hassle" previously associated with traffic fines.
By boosting overall challan payment compliance, the platform not only helps citizens but also assists authorities by reducing the massive backlog of pending cases, contributing to a more efficient and accountable road ecosystem.
