Delhi Residents Get Chance to Clear Old Traffic Fines at National Lok Adalat

Opportunity for Delhi Residents

Residents of Delhi will have a unique opportunity to settle their old traffic fines. On Saturday, January 10, 2026, all district courts in the capital will host a 'National Lok Adalat'. During this event, minor traffic violations (e-challans) will be resolved on-site.

Traffic Violations Eligible for Relief

The Lok Adalat will only address those fines that have been submitted to virtual courts by September 30, 2025. This includes violations such as speeding, running red lights, driving without a helmet or seatbelt, improper parking, operating a vehicle without a PUC certificate, lacking a number plate, or breaking traffic signals.

Exclusions from the Lok Adalat

It is important to note that cases involving driving under the influence, hit-and-run incidents, driving by minors, and serious criminal offenses will not be handled during this event.

Application Process

To manage the crowd effectively, the Delhi Traffic Police has made online registration mandatory.

Registration Start Date: The application process began on January 5.

Where to Register: You can book your slot on the official website of the Delhi Traffic Police.

Booking Limit: A total of 180,000 fines will be available for booking, with a maximum of 45,000 tokens issued per day.
