Karachi’s roads are always busy, and almost every day we see people rushing to work, school, or markets. Because of this heavy traffic, the Sindh Police have updated the E-Challan system for 2025, so drivers can clearly understand how much they’ll be fined if they break any road rules. These fines are now easy to check online, which makes the whole process faster and more transparent.

Over the last few years, Karachi started using ANPR cameras. These cameras quietly watch the roads, read number plates, and catch violations instantly. So even if you don’t see a traffic officer around, the camera is already doing the job.

If you live in Karachi or drive here often, knowing these updated fines can save you a lot of trouble.

What Is an E-Challan?

An E-Challan is simply an online traffic fine.
You don’t get it handed to you on the road — it is recorded digitally. The system takes a photo, notes the violation, and adds it to the Sindh Police database. Later, you can check it using your vehicle number.

How Do ANPR Cameras Work?

These cameras are placed on poles at busy roads and intersections.
They automatically catch things like:

• Driving too fast
• Breaking the signal
• Not wearing a helmet
• Using a mobile while driving
• Wrong-way driving
• Missing number plates

Once the camera records the violation, the challan is created with proof. It’s actually fair, because the evidence is right there for you to see.

Where Are These Cameras Installed?

Some of Karachi’s busiest and most crowded areas already have these cameras running every hour of the day:

• Shahrah-e-Faisal
• Clifton and DHA
• Saddar
• Tariq Road
• Korangi
• University Road
• North Nazimabad
• MA Jinnah Road

If you drive here often, be extra careful — these cameras don’t miss much.
