The Kerala Cabinet has approved a 50 per cent amnesty on pending traffic fines as part of a special scheme aimed at clearing a massive backlog of e-challan cases and reducing the burden on courts.
The decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, according to a statement issued by Chief Minister's Office (CMO) on Sunday.
Under the amnesty scheme, motorists will get a 50 per cent concession on fines imposed for all traffic violations committed up to December 31, 2024.
The concession will be applicable if the pending fines are cleared on or before April 30, 2026, it said.
Officials said the government accepted the recommendation of the Transport Commissioner to introduce the scheme as many vehicle owners were reluctant to settle e-challan cases due to multiple pending violations against a single vehicle and the high penalty amounts involved.
The accumulation of e-challan cases has also led to a significant rise in the number of traffic-related c

China won't help the United States reopen the Strait of Hormuz as requested by President Donald Trump, but it is probably welcoming the delay in Trump's highly anticipated trip to Beijing as the US risks getting bogged down in the Middle East, analysts say.
The latest developments are unfolding as Trump's Iran war, in its third week, is faced with mounting pressure as oil has stopped moving through the strait and US allies have refused to step up to secure the strait.
That has produced concerns that China, the United States' biggest geopolitical rival, could stand to benefit from a war that some say was ill-considered.
"President Trump's request to delay his long-awaited summit with President Xi Jinping underscores how significantly he underestimated the fallout from Operation Epic Fury," said Ali Wyne, senior research and advocacy adviser for US-China relations at the International Crisis Group.
"A show of US force that was meant to intimidate Beijing has instead served to punctur
