Puducherry vehicle registration (PY series)

Why challans go unnoticed

Most Puducherry challans today are camera-issued (speeding, red light, no helmet) and the SMS often goes to an old mobile number registered with the RTO. Checking your vehicle number every few weeks is the only reliable way to avoid late fees and court escalation. Read what happens if a challan stays unpaid.
