More than 75% traffic challans unpaid in tri-commissionerates, Hyderabad tops with ₹187 cr. dues

As 2025 draws to a close, Hyderabad’s tripartite commissioners are sitting on a mountain of free traffic problems, with more than three out of every four still remaining free. Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda together issued 1.29 crore challans, but more than 99.22 lakh remain unpaid.

Hyderabad Commissionerate, which covers the High Court, old city, major bus stands, historical areas and dense residential areas, topped the list for both issued and unpaid challans. It has booked 69,27,479 challans till November 14. Of these, 52,26,323 challans (75.5%) remain pending, reflecting a payment compliance rate of only 24.5%. The financial backlog is equally huge, with outstanding challans amounting to ₹187.67 crore. Two-wheelers top the list of violations with 51,05,826 cases, followed by 5,14,224 cases involving three-wheelers and 12,66,395 cases involving four-wheelers.

Cyberabad, home to the IT cluster, luxury bars, prime real estate and high-speed corridors, registered 33,77,684 challans in 2025, of which 25,38,152 (75.1%) are still outstanding. The outstanding challans here total ₹91.71 crore. The violation matrix from January to mid-November includes 81 types of violations such as wrong parking (10,35,124 cases), wrong way driving (6,68,150), over speeding (3,55,609), dangerous driving (2,67,400), obstructing pedestrians (2,21,410), standing in driveway (2,47,273), without helmet (1,29,656), driving with mobile phone etc. (39,601), drunk driving (14,977) and overloading freight vehicles (1,136).

Another interesting statistic in Cyberabad is the list of repeat offenders: 65,917 vehicles have 10 or more challans on each, with the most notorious registering 126 challans on a single vehicle.

Spread over a vast and diverse geography of farmhouses, gated communities and fast-growing residential clusters, Rachakonda has issued 25,89,477 challans but has the poorest payment record among the three. While only 4,31,054 challans have been paid, 21,58,423 (83.4%) remain pending, leaving the compliance rate at just 16.6%. Helmet violations alone account for 17,45,623 cases; This is followed by wrong-way driving (1,48,984), parking ban violations (2,06,974), drunk driving (16,574), refusal to allow entry (30,302), mobile phone use (19,902) and driving without a license (1,29,728).

Here, two-wheelers accounted for 21,54,696 cases, three-wheelers accounted for 54,896 cases, four-wheelers accounted for 3,56,367 cases and heavy vehicles accounted for 25,575 cases.

A clear pattern is emerging across the three commissionerates: Two-wheelers account for the bulk of traffic violations, and dangerous habits such as wrong-way driving, speeding, driving without a helmet and careless maneuvers continue to dominate the city’s roads.

As difficulties continue to pile up, traffic officials say many commuters are deliberately delaying payments in the hope of a discount window to pay their dues. “Each commission is trying a different tactic to get people to clear their pending challenges in the meantime,” said an officer from Cyberabad, who goes door-to-door targeting top violators with the highest outstanding fines.
