# Speeding Challan in India — Fine Amounts & How to Pay

Over-speeding is the single largest cause of road fatalities in India and one of the top violations caught by camera. Fines range from ₹1,000 to ₹4,000 depending on vehicle type and how much over the limit you were going.

Expressway challans (like Yamuna Expressway) can be higher based on YEIDA bylaws.

How Speed Cameras Work

India uses three types:

1. Fixed radar cameras — detect speed at a fixed point

2. ANPR with average speed — two cameras at distance, calculate average speed

3. Mobile radar guns — carried by traffic police in vehicles

How to Check Your Challan

echallan.parivahan.gov.in → enter vehicle number → look for "Over Speeding" violation. The challan shows the detected speed vs. limit and the camera location.

Contest or Pay

If you were not over the speed limit (radar error, wrong vehicle plate), you can contest at the adjudicating court. Otherwise, pay online.

Pay your speeding challan via LearnDrive — ₹49 fee, done in 4 hours.

Summary

Speed cameras are everywhere on national highways. Check your challan monthly if you drive long distances regularly.
