KARACHI \u2013 The Sindh government mulls over reducing the fines for e-challans for car and motorcycle in Karachi after people raised concerns over massive traffic fines.<\/p>\n

Reports said that the provincial government is reviewing a proposal to cut the traffic fine rates by halt.<\/p>\n

They suggested that the fine for motorcycles could be reduced from Rs5,000 to Rs2,500, while e-challan fines for vehicles under 1,000 cc may also see a similar reduction.<\/p>\n

A final decision on this matter will be made during a special committee meeting chaired by the Sindh Interior Minister next week.<\/p>\n

Following the committee’s approval, the notification for the new fines is expected to be issued shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n

The committee had previously requested recommendations regarding e-challan fines during a meeting on December 23. If approved, the revised fines aim to provide relief to vehicle owners and make the e-challan system more accessible and fair.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Sindh government implemented a new structure of fines and demerit points for traffic violations across the province by amending the Twelfth Schedule under Section 121-A of the Motor Vehicles Ordinance, 1965.<\/p>\n

Senior Sindh Minister for Information, Transport, and Mass Transit, Sharjeel Inam Memon, had announced that these measures aim to deter dangerous driving behaviors and improve road safety.<\/p>\n
