Chandigarh Revolutionizes Challan Payments with QR Codes at Lok Adalat

Get ready for a significant leap in convenience! Chandigarh is embracing the digital age by introducing QR code-based payments for challans during the much-anticipated National Lok Adalat on September 9. This innovative step is a testament to the city's commitment to modernizing public services and making life easier for its residents.

The State Legal Services Authority (SLSA) and the Chandigarh traffic police have joined forces to roll out this game-changing initiative.

Imagine this: no more fumbling with cash or navigating complex online portals. With a simple scan of a QR code, citizens will be able to instantly settle their pending challans, especially those issued for traffic violations captured by the city's extensive network of CCTV cameras.

This move is particularly beneficial for the thousands of individuals who might find traditional online payment methods challenging or inconvenient.

The Lok Adalat, known for its focus on amicable dispute resolution, is now adding an unparalleled layer of payment simplicity, ensuring that resolving your fines is as straightforward as it gets. The SLSA has actively urged everyone with pending challans to seize this opportunity and clear their dues during the upcoming Adalat, emphasizing the ease and speed the new system offers.

But the Lok Adalat isn't just about traffic challans.

It serves as a vital platform for resolving a wide array of legal disputes. The upcoming session will address a comprehensive list of cases, including criminal compoundable matters, cheque bounce cases, bank recovery issues, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) cases, matrimonial disputes, labour disputes, and various public utility service matters.

This broad scope ensures that a significant portion of the community can find resolution and justice.

To facilitate this massive undertaking, a total of 45 dedicated benches will be constituted across Chandigarh. These benches will be presided over by experienced judicial officers, ensuring that all cases are handled with expertise and fairness.

Citizens needing assistance or information regarding the Lok Adalat and the new payment system are encouraged to reach out to the State Legal Services Authority directly. This progressive initiative is poised to set a new standard for efficient and user-friendly public service delivery in Chandigarh, making justice and compliance more accessible than ever before.
