What the Vehicle Challan Check API does

Unpaid challans are a liability for fleet owners and a behavioural signal for anyone hiring drivers. The Vehicle Challan Check API returns the challan history recorded by traffic authorities, so onboarding and periodic reviews can account for it.

Pair it with Vehicle RC and Driving Licence verification for a complete driver-and-vehicle profile.
