Only 1% of pending dues recovered under traffic OTS so far
Odisha's traffic e-challan settlement scheme, offering up to a 50% waiver, has collected only 1% of the Rs 1,597 crore pending dues. Despite a March 2026 deadline, apathy, high fines on old vehicles, and lack of awareness hinder recovery. Authorities are urging defaulters to use the official portal to clear dues and avoid potential vehicle transaction cancellations.
