Now showing, your car's pending traffic challans on a billboard in Bengaluru

Bengaluru's major junction - Trinity Circle - now has a billboard displaying pending traffic challans against vehicles.

Connected with AI-powered cameras that capture the registration number of vehicles from up to 100 meters away, the system fetches details from the VAHAN database and displays them - all in ten seconds - to alert about pending challans, expired Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates, and other dues for traffic violations.

“We are not reminding people to clear challans or update documents. We’re reminding them that every act of responsibility on the road, no matter how small, is what keeps an entire city alive. Safety doesn’t come from systems alone; it comes from choices. And the road is the one place where your choices instantly touch thousands of lives,” said Gajendra Jangid, co-founder & CMO, Cars24, a used car buying, selling, and financing app. This initiative is also supported by CrashFree India and Monday Ventures.

“The AI-powered billboard pilot aims to improve road safety by making drivers immediately aware of their pending fines and vehicle compliance status, which will encourage responsible behaviour on the roads,” one senior police officer said.

Traffic Fines 

Bengaluru traffic police had collected Rs 106 crore as penalty from 37.86 lakh cases between August 23 and September 12, after the state government granted a 50 percent concession on fines for pending traffic e-challans.

Bengaluru has more than one crore registered vehicles with around 30,000 traffic violations recorded every day. In 2024 alone, Bengaluru traffic police booked 82.90 lakh cases of violations, collecting fine worth Rs 849.14 crore. Between January and August 2025, 45 lakh violations were booked which has resulted in Rs 1,150.33 crore as fine.
