MumTrafficapp is a user-friendly application created for the citizens of Mumbai who may need assistance in matters related to traffic-regulation. This application also facilitates viewing and easy payment of traffic challans generated against their vehicle(s).
This application also helps citizens notify the police department about incidences of violations that take place on the roads thus enabling the department to take prompt and decisive action to keep the roads safe and secure.
While installing the app, a user must register himself/ herself using his/her mobile number. Following are the features of the app:
1. My Vehicles
A user can register a vehicle by its number to track e-challans issued against the said vehicle. For the same,
Click on the Add Vehicle button and enter the vehicle number.
Where a mobile number has been registered in the RTO's Vahan system against a particular vehicle, such a vehicle gets added to the My Vehicles list without additional validations. If such a mobile number does not exist in the RTO records, the system shall prompt the user to enter the last 4 digits of the vehicle's chassis/engine number for a maximum of 10 attempts.
A user may add multiple vehicles to the My vehicles list against a single mobile number to get notification(s) of future challans issued against each vehicle thus added.
Users can also delete vehicle details from the My Vehicle list where they do not wish to track challans on a vehicle anymore.
2. My E-Challans
A user can view all the e-challans issued against vehicles mentioned in the 'My E-Challans' list. For the same, the user needs to click on the vehicle number and then on the e-challan number.
In case users wish to pay compounding fees on the pending e-challan(s), a secured payment gateway is available to do so using Credit/ Debit cards.
