Not an official government website. We’re an independent guide. Use only official Islamabad Capital Police channels to check or pay a challan.
How Does Islamabad's E-Challan System Work?
Wondering how you got a fine without being stopped? Islamabad’s e-challan system is part of the Safe City project. Cameras capture violations, which are matched with the vehicle’s registration data, and a challan is generated against the registration number. Zameen says challans can also be sent to the owner’s address. [verify]
Islamabad police have also integrated data from other provinces so out-of-city plates can be fined. Reports mention integration with the Sindh Excise and Taxation Department, and data on more than 17,500 AJK-registered vehicles in 2024.
How Do I Check My E-Challan? (Step by Step)
- Open the Islamabad Capital Police website (islamabadpolice.gov.pk) and go to the e-challan verification page. ARY News listed a direct link: ict.islamabadpolice.gov.pk:8081/veri/verify_e_challan.php. [verify the link, including the port number, before publishing]
