About Kanpur Traffic Enforcement
Kanpur is one of the major cities in Uttar Pradesh and falls under the jurisdiction of Kanpur Traffic Police. Vehicles registered in Kanpur carry number plates prefixed with UP-78, issued by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) for this district. With a population of approximately 30 lakh, Kanpur experiences significant vehicle density, making traffic enforcement a priority for local authorities.
Traffic challans in Kanpur are issued under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 as amended by the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019, which significantly increased penalty amounts. Kanpur Traffic Police uses a combination of ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras, speed guns, body-worn cameras on officers, and stationary CCTV at major intersections to detect and record violations. All challans are uploaded to the national echallan.parivahan.gov.in portal, making them accessible online through platforms like GaadiInfo.
Important: GaadiInfo is operated by Vehicore Technologies Pvt Ltd and is not affiliated with the Government of India, Uttar Pradesh Government, Kanpur Traffic Police, or any RTO. Challan data is fetched in real-time from official government sources. A ₹199 platform service fee + 18% GST applies for online challan payment processing.
What to Do If You Receive a Wrong Kanpur Challan
Verify the vehicle number
First confirm the challan is for your vehicle's UP-78-prefixed number plate — typos in ANPR reads do happen.
Gather evidence
Screenshot of challan details, photos of your vehicle at the stated time, dashcam footage, or witness statements if available.
File a dispute online
Visit echallan.parivahan.gov.in → 'Check Challan Status' → raise a dispute. Alternatively, visit Kanpur Traffic Police headquarters in person with proof.
Court option
If the dispute is rejected, you can contest the challan in a local traffic court (Lok Adalat sessions for traffic matters are held monthly in most cities).
