March 9, 2025 at 5:30 pmIn Dec 2024, I rented a scooty in Pondicherry and I got stopped by the police there. He asked a bunch of questions and also asked me to get off the vehicle. I was panicking and didn’t immediately get off and only registered what he said after he told me the second time. He took down my number along with the scooty details and then let us go.Last week I got a text message about an outstanding challan for 80 days for the same vehicle. I checked a couple of websites, while all of them said there were no outstanding challans for this particular vehicle number, one of them did show a receipt and it shows a 200 rs challan for abundance or remaining on the vehicle(which adds up).
Im not sure how to proceed now. I’m trying to check the status from echallan parivahan website, but it’s constantly throwing an internal server error. Do I let the owner know? And what platform are you supposed to pay the challan from? I would really appreciate some guidance here, thank you!

March 9, 2025 at 9:57 pmIf you think it is tied to your Driving License (most probably yes, since you got the message), then just pay it online on parivahan, when the website starts to work correctly. Sometimes it takes some time for the challan to be available to pay even if they show up as issued earlier than that. You don’t need to notify the vehicle owner, since the challan is not linked to the vehicle, instead its linked to your DL.Since it is just 200, pay it as soon as you see it on parivahan. Or you can wait for it to go to virtual court, and it might be knocked down to something less, or you can also attend the virtual hearing (won’t be anytime soon), to plead your case if you want.
If it was issued to the vehicle, you anyways won’t be able to pay it easily. The owner can contact you to pay them once they settled the challan online. Remember to ask for the challan receipt in case its tied to vehicle, so there is no change it loops back to you.

March 11, 2025 at 3:16 pmI see, that makes sense. I’m prepared to pay it, I’d rather avoid the hassle of virtual court. Everytime I enter my DL number it says invalid driving license number. is there a particular reason as to why this might be happening? also the website that had a pdf of challan displayed did show the vehicle number though.
