There is a relief news for UP residents. Uttar Pradesh government is going to waive off more than 17 lakh traffic challans in the state. These challans will be those which were issued between 1 April 2018 and 31 December 2021. This means that these challans during the period of three years are now going to be cancelled. The traffic department had issued 17,89,463 challans between April 1, 2018 and December 31, 2021. That means the government has decided to waive off about 18 lakh challans. We are giving you all the information about which sector’s challans the government is going to waive, and if your challan is also in the list of pending challans during this period, then what will be the benefit for the people who have paid the challan. In UP, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government is going to waive off around 18 lakh challans of Noida area. The government is being asked to take this step as it will greatly benefit the common man, delivery persons, taxi drivers etc. According to Hindustan, traffic officials said that the challans between April 1, 2018 and December 31, 2021 will be cancelled. Now the question arises that what will be the benefit to those who have already paid the challan. It has been said that no provision has been made to refund the amount for those who have already paid the challan. That means they are not going to get any benefit from this step. According to the report, around 7 lakh people have already deposited the challan. Yes, but if your challan has also been issued during this period, and it is pending, then it is advised not to pay it because soon the traffic department will remove it from the e-portal. This is not the first time that the UP government has waived off traffic challans. Such a step has been taken earlier also, when challans from December 2016 to December 2021 were waived. During this period the government had canceled 30 thousand challans.
