Why People Don’t Pay the Traffic Challan?
Because they are waiting for the Lok Adalat to reduce the Amount of the Challan.
People think that they can resolve the matter of the Pending Challan at the time of selling their vehicle.
If they make a payment delay, then they don’t get any kind of interest.

But many times, they don’t make the payment or make a delay in the payment and then wait for the Lok Adalat, in which the fines are reduced.
