Telangana has expanded its network of automated traffic enforcement significantly, with AI-powered cameras and speed sensors in key stretches in the Outer Ring Road (ORR), Hyderabad-Vijayawada Highway, and busy intersections in Hyderabad, Secunderabad and Warangal. Along with the new national 45-day challan payment rule, it's essential to stay on top of your vehicle's compliance status more than ever before.

What's Changed in Telangana's Traffic Enforcement

Expanded ANPR camera coverage across ORR and city junctions, with automatic detection of overspeeding, signal jumping, and lane violation. Stricter enforcement on triple riding and helmetless riding, especially in Hyderabad's core traffic zones

Increased checkpoints on the ORR and highway for overspeeding due to high traffic volume

Faster digital processing of challans, with violations reflected in the system sooner than the old manual process

Why the New TS Traffic Rule Matters for Telangana Vehicle Owners

The new TS traffic rule updates have pushed enforcement further towards automation, with a growing share of violations being recorded without a driver being stopped. Along with the national 45-day challan payment rule (effective Jan 2026) - whereby every challan must be cleared within 45 days or the owner risks losing access to RC transfer, insurance renewal, and other RTO services - the margin for letting a challan get unnoticed has shrunk considerably. This is not unique to Telangana: several states have implemented similar automated enforcement expansion, and the trend has been similar across the board. Increased camera coverage, faster digital processing, less tolerance for delayed challan payments are some of the common changes. A regular challan check has become essential to stay on top of your vehicle's compliance status, especially with the new national 45-day challan payment rule now in effect

How to Do a TS Challan Check

• Open the MyMotor Challan Check App or visit mymotor.in
• Enter your vehicle's registration number (e.g. TS09XXXX)
• View the violation type, date, location, fine amount, and status

A ts challan check using MyMotor is similar to checking for any other state, so there's no need to separately navigate the Telangana Police e-Challan portal or the specific login process.

Common Violations to Watch For in Telangana

• Overspeeding on ORR and highway
• Signal jumping in Hyderabad and Secunderabad
• Riding without a helmet
• Triple riding on two-wheelers
• Driving without valid insurance or PUC

What to Do If You've Missed a Challan

• Check status immediately using your vehicle's registration number
• Pay before the 45-day window to avoid late fees and RTO service blocks
• If you think the challan was issued in error, file a dispute within the same 45 days - the RTO must resolve it within 30 days or it's automatically quashed
