In times of the coronavirus pandemic, e-payment of fines has come as a boon to the police department. The system of paying fines through e-modes for traffic violations has helped the police as they do not have to transact through cash or come in contact with violators. Nashik Police Commissioner said that directions from higher-ups from Mumbai have been instructed to collect fines through e-payment and they have been provided with devices to issue e-challans and collect fines as well. Additionally, if the fine has not been paid, the information will remain with the cops and even if motorists are caught violating traffic rules in another part of the state, the police will be able to view previous fines.
