Bengaluru, (DHNS) To pay the fine, swipe your debit/credit card through the PDA and enter the PIN. The police officer will enter the nature of offence, your vehicle’s registration number and your driving licence number. You will be shown the details before the challan is printed out. Once everything is done, the built-in printer will print out the receipt within 2-3 minutes.

Pay service tax, too

If you make the payment by card, you have will have to fork out 5% service tax.

For example, if you pay Rs 100 for jumping the signal and swipe the card through the PDA, you will have to pay Rs 105 (Rs 5 as service tax to the bank).

Motorists praise PDA

“It will be a time-saver for both the traffic police and citizens. The cashless payment will also check corruption,” said Rohan Imdapur, a hotel management professional.

Subin P K, a theatre artist, said: “I usually don’t carry much cash. The digital payment option to pay the traffic fine will certainly spare us the dash to the ATM. The use of GPS while issuing tickets will also curb corruption.”

Jyothi Priya, a techie, said: “PDA is definitely smart technology. The government will earn more revenue while the traffic police and the public will be spared the hassle.”
