What does E-challan mean in logistics?

Short answer

A digitally issued traffic or transport penalty notice linked to a vehicle registration or driving licence.

Issued through the Parivahan e-challan system, drawing on VAHAN and SARATHI. Overloading is penalised under Section 194 of the Motor Vehicles Act, and pending challans can block services such as permit or fitness renewal. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
