How to Pay Traffic Challan Online in Pakistan

Paying your traffic challan online is faster, safer, and more convenient than visiting a counter. Whether your challan was issued in Karachi or elsewhere in Pakistan, most payments now work through 1Link/1Bill—so you can clear dues using JazzCash, Easypaisa, your bank’s mobile app, internet banking, or even an ATM. This guide walks you through every option step by step, explains how to confirm payment, and offers fixes for common issues.

Quick takeaways:

• Keep the challan reference/PSID handy; you’ll need it for all channels.
• Prefer digital payments (JazzCash/Easypaisa/Bank app) for near‑instant confirmation.
• Always save the transaction receipt or screenshot.
• Re-check your challan status a few minutes after paying.

Why Pay Challan Online?

Paying online helps you:

• Save time: Clear dues in minutes—no queues or travel.
• Avoid late fees: Faster payments mean fewer delays and penalties.
• Keep records: Get digital receipts for your payment history.
• Reduce friction: No cash handling or change issues at counters.
• Pay anywhere: Settle dues even when you’re out of city.

Payment Methods Available

You can generally use any of these channels (via 1Link/1Bill):

• JazzCash mobile wallet
• Easypaisa mobile wallet
• Bank mobile apps
• ATMs (1Link)

2. Navigate to Bill Payments
3. Select Traffic Challan
4. Choose 1Bill/1Link (or Government/Traffic if listed)

6. Fetch bill → verify vehicle/amount → tap Pay
7. Wait for the success screen and note the transaction ID
8. Save the digital receipt or take a screenshot

2. Select 1Bill/1Link or Government → Traffic
3. Enter the challan reference/PSID and fetch bill
4. Confirm details and tap Pay
5. Save the receipt/screenshot and re-check challan status after a few minutes

Method 3: Bank Mobile Apps

Most major Pakistani banks support challan payments via 1Bill/1Link inside their mobile apps, including HBL, UBL, MCB, Meezan, Bank Alfalah, Allied, Faysal, JS, and others.

Generic steps:

1. Open your bank’s app → Payments/Bills → 1Bill/1Link
2. Enter the challan reference/PSID → Fetch
3. Verify vehicle and payable amount → Pay
4. Save the receipt and transaction ID

Method 4: ATM Payment

5. Collect the printed slip and keep it until your status shows “Paid”

Method 5: Internet Banking

4. Confirm amount → Pay → Note the transaction ID
5. Re-check your challan status after a few minutes

Payment Confirmation

• You should see a success message and a transaction ID inside your app or bank portal.
• Save the receipt and/or screenshot.
• Re-check your challan status on the portal you used to view challans. Most payments reflect within minutes; some take up to a few hours.
• If status doesn’t update after a reasonable time, contact your payment provider with the transaction ID for reconciliation.

Troubleshooting Payment Issues

• PSID not found: Double-check digits and try again; verify the challan hasn’t expired or been canceled/reissued.
• Payment failed but account debited: Wait 30–60 minutes. If still unpaid, contact your bank/wallet with your transaction ID to reverse or post the payment.
• Duplicate payment attempt: If the system already marked the challan paid, the fetch step will fail—verify status before paying again.
• Wrong vehicle details: Cancel the flow; re-check the plate/PSID; contact support if the fetched bill seems incorrect.
• App keeps timing out: Try another channel (JazzCash/Easypaisa/your bank), or pay via branch counter.

Offline Payment Alternatives

You can also pay at:

• Participating bank branches (over-the-counter 1Bill payments)
• Authorized JazzCash/Easypaisa agents who process bill payments
• Traffic facilitation counters, where available

Bring your CNIC and the challan reference/PSID. Keep the stamped slip until your status shows “Paid.”

Conclusion

Online challan payment is the easiest and quickest way to clear dues in Pakistan. Keep your reference/PSID handy, use JazzCash/Easypaisa or your bank app, and always save the receipt. Recheck your status after payment and follow up with your provider if it doesn’t update in time.
