From December 1, 2025, the West Bengal government will launch a new unified e-challan system. This system will make action against traffic violators stricter. All challans, payments, NOCs, and pollution certificates will now be available online through a central portal called ‘Sangyog’. With this new system, people who break traffic rules will face quick and clear action. Everything will be digital and easy to check from one place.
About Sanyog Portal: West Bengal’s New Digital Traffic System
The ‘Sanyog’ Portal is a central digital platform created by the West Bengal Transport Department and the IT Department. From December 1, 2025, all traffic rule and challan-related work in the state will be done through this single online system.
How the New System Works
If anyone breaks traffic rules, a challan will be issued directly on the Sanyog portal.
Vehicle owners can pay the fine online through the GRIPS Payment Gateway anytime, without visiting any office.
Main Benefits of the New System
-
The entire process is paperless – challan issue, payment, and NOC are all online.
-
Online payment through GRIPS at any time.
-
NOC (No Objection Certificate) can be obtained online.
-
Pollution and fitness certificates will be given only if no challan is pending.
-
All vehicle owners must register on the portal to use its services.
