Selling a vehicle with pending challans
Pending challans complicate a sale and can leave you liable long after the vehicle is gone. How to do it properly.
Pending challan — even one in court? Close it without going to court.
Check your vehicle free. Tick the challans you want closed and an empanelled advocate handles them, including ones already in virtual court in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. ₹1,299 per challan + GST, shown before you pay.
- Free check — you pay only if you choose to go ahead
- Court challans in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh: an advocate appears for you, no court visit
- Closure proof uploaded to your account
- Can't close it? The service fee for that challan is refunded
Check your challans
Free to check. You only pay if you choose to proceed.
How it works
Three steps, no surprises
Checking is free. You see the government amount and our fee separately before you pay anything.
Check free
Enter your registration number, your name and mobile. You see every open challan — which are in court, which are about to go, and what each costs.
See what can be done
Only open challans are shown, split into those already in court, those about to go to court, and the rest. Tick the ones you want closed — you do not have to close them all.
Pay and relax
Pay the government amount plus our fee. Your advocate takes the case; if a document is needed you are asked for it. You follow every update, and download the closure proof when it is done.
The honest part
Not every challan can be closed online
Most services hide this. Some offences require the registered owner to appear before a court in person, and no online service can substitute for that. We mark those clearly and do not take payment for them.
We can handle these
- Challans already in virtual court — Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh (no court visit)
- Riding without a helmet
- Seat belt violations
- Overspeeding (compoundable)
- Parking violations
- Missing documents on record
- Signal jumping, where compoundable
These need you in court
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Dangerous or rash driving
- Driving without a licence
- Offences involving injury
- Court challans outside Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, for now
- Anything a magistrate must decide in person
We will not take payment for these. We can connect you with an advocate to prepare for the hearing.
Pricing
One flat fee. Nothing hidden.
The government fine is passed through in full. It is never our revenue and we never mark it up.
You see both numbers separately on screen before you pay, and again on your receipt. If a challan turns out not to be closable after payment, our refund policy applies to our fee.
Example: one helmet challan in Delhi
Government fine₹1,000.00
Our service fee₹1,299.00
GST 18% on our fee₹233.82
You pay₹2,532.82
Of that, ₹1,000.00 goes to the authority in full. Our fee covers the advocate, the court work, the closure proof and support.
In a hurry? 10-day express: ₹3,000.00 per challan instead of ₹1,299.00 (+ GST).

Questions
Straight answers
How do you find my challans?
We look up your registration number with our challan data provider and show you what comes back. We are not a government website, and we do not have any special access.
What does it cost?
The government challan amount, which we pass through in full, plus our service fee of ₹1,299 per challan and GST on that fee. Everything is shown separately before you pay anything. Checking is free.
My challan is already in court. Can you still close it?
Yes, in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh: an empanelled advocate appears for you in the virtual court, so you do not go to court. Offences that the law says need you in person, such as drunk driving, are the exception — we tell you before you pay.
What if you cannot close it?
If we accept a challan and then cannot close it because it turns out to need a court appearance or the authority will not compound it, the service fee for that challan is refunded. Our refund policy has the details.
Why can you not help with some challans?
Some offences require the registered owner to appear in court in person. No service can do that for you. We mark those clearly and offer to connect you with a lawyer instead.
Can I not just pay it myself?
Yes. An e-challan can be paid on the government portal, and a virtual court challan on vcourts.gov.in, at no extra charge. You pay us to have it done for you: an advocate handles the court side, you get the closure proof in your account, and support until the government record shows it closed.
Do you guarantee my challan will be closed?
No. Nobody can. We handle the process through an empanelled advocate and keep you updated on what actually happens.
Why do you need my RC and ID?
The advocate handling your case needs proof that the vehicle is yours. Documents are encrypted, stored outside the website, and only the lawyer on your case can open them.
