The bank will also supply 195 mobile e-challan devices to all the enforcement officers of the transport department.The mobile e-challan device has been integrated with SARATHI and VAHAN (dedicated web-based applications of ministry of road transport and highways) database to generate the vehicle checking report (VCR) of violators on the spot. All the enforcement officials like road transport officers, motor vehicle inspectors, traffic inspectors, junior motor vehicle inspectors and traffic sub-inspectors will be able to generate the VCR on the spot and collect the fine through PoS devices.“We will provide training to the enforcement officers on the usage of the PoS devices.
