Those in Bengaluru can visit local traffic police stations to pay their fines or go on the Bengaluru traffic police website: https://bangaloretrafficpolice.gov.in, whereas those outside of Bengaluru can visit KarnatakaOne centres or nearest police stations to pay their penalties.

The state government came to the decision during a meeting held last week with Justice B Veerappa, who is the executive chairman of the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority. Officials at the meeting resolved to “request the Transport Department to take steps at the earliest and report compliance in order to ensure access to justice for all”.
