Supreme Court orders curbs on vehicle services until unpaid e-challans are cleared · 2 October 2026 · Covers one part · use it in the example
Use it to show that e-governance data has value only when it is acted on: the Court is converting unused e-challan records into enforceable consequences through linked databases.
- E-challans worth ₹49,194.05 crore were issued but only ₹26,175.05 crore recovered; the Supreme Court observed that issuing e-challans serves little purpose unless fines are actually recovered.
- The Court wants the VAHAN, SARATHI, e-Challan, e-DAR and IRAD databases linked, and defaulting vehicles blacklisted on the Parivahan portal so they cannot be sold or transferred.
- MoRTH must run a public online dashboard, updated monthly, on how States implement electronic enforcement under Section 136A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
