How to Check and Pay a Motorway Police Challan in Pakistan

There is no public online page to check a Motorway Police challan. We looked on 30 September 2026 and nhmp.gov.pk had no challan search at all. An NHMP ticket is issued on the spot, so the ticket in your hand is your record. Pay it the way that ticket says. For a dispute, call 130 or the NHMP Complaint Cell on 051-9320290.

That surprises most drivers. City traffic police in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad let you search camera challans by plate number. The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) works differently, and lookalike "motorway e-challan" websites fill the gap with guesses.

We went through every menu on the NHMP website on 30 September 2026. We also read the Punjab Information Technology Board's page on the NHMP ticketing system, the e-NHMP app listing, and NHMP's contact page. We did not have a ticket to test.

NHMP has no online challan check for the public

The NHMP website offers licensing, FM 95 radio, a travel advisory, traffic rules and complaints. None of its pages lets you search a ticket by vehicle number, CNIC or ticket number. So any site that claims to show your "NHMP e-challan" is not NHMP.

City camera fines are a separate system. If an SMS says you have a challan from a city camera, use your province's own portal, listed in where each province keeps its e-challan check.

How a Motorway Police ticket is issued

NHMP officers issue tickets on a handheld device at the roadside. The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) built this e-ticketing system for highways and motorways across Pakistan. It replaced paper challan books with an electronic, location-tagged record.

According to PITB, the device lets the officer issue the ticket on the spot. It also checks your vehicle registration and driving licence, and saves where the offence happened. So the ticket is created in front of you, not mailed later from a camera.

The e-NHMP app on Google Play belongs to the same system. Its listing, published by PITB and updated on 18 September 2026, describes it as an NHMP project for online ticketing. It is a tool for officers. We found no citizen sign-up in its listing, so it will not show you a challan.

The fines and penalty points come from the National Highways Safety Ordinance 2000. NHMP publishes the ordinance under Traffic Rules on its website, as a scanned book. Points add up on your licence. More than 20 in two years suspends it for six months, as explained in the high beam crackdown on Punjab motorways.

How to pay a Motorway Police challan

Pay exactly the way your ticket tells you, by its due date. We could not find a payment page or a list of payment channels on any NHMP web page on 30 September 2026. So the printed ticket is the only instruction we can point you to with confidence.

1. Keep the ticket safe. Photograph both sides as soon as you get it.
2. Read the amount, the offence and the due date printed on it.
3. Follow the payment method written on the ticket, at the bank or channel it names.
4. Keep the paid receipt with the ticket until your licence record is clear.
5. If anything on the ticket is unclear, call 130 before the due date and ask.

Drivers have long been told to pay motorway tickets at designated bank branches. We could not confirm the current list on an NHMP page, so treat that as reported and go by your ticket.

Never pay a motorway fine through a link that arrives by SMS or WhatsApp. NHMP does not publish one. Fake e-challan messages copy exactly this kind of wording to take card details.

Lost your motorway ticket or think it is wrong

Call NHMP first. The helpline is 130 and the Complaint Cell is 051-9320290, both listed on NHMP's contact page. Have the date, time, motorway and direction, your vehicle number and your CNIC ready when you call.

A written complaint is the next step. NHMP's website links to the federal Citizen Portal for complaints. Its own "Register a Complaint" link pointed to an address that showed a "page not found" error when we tried it on 30 September 2026.

The Pakistan Citizen Portal sends your complaint to the right office and gives you a tracking number. Attach a photo of the ticket.

If you think the officer behaved badly, say so plainly and stick to facts: where, when, what was said. Leave out opinions. A clear, dated complaint is harder to close without an answer.

NHMP helplines and office details

NHMP's headquarters is in Mauve Area, G-11/1, Islamabad. The main numbers are 051-9320294 and 051-9320295, and the email is info@nhmp.gov.pk. The Drivers Licensing Authority can be reached on 051-9250449 and 051-9250519.

Before a long drive, 130 is also the quickest way to check if a motorway is open. It is cheaper than a ticket for driving into a closure.

Common questions

Can I check my Motorway Police challan online?

No. On 30 September 2026 NHMP had no public online challan check. Your ticket is your record. If you lost it, call 130 or the Complaint Cell.

Can I check an NHMP challan by vehicle number?

Not on any NHMP website we found. Sites that offer this for motorway tickets are not run by NHMP.

Is the e-NHMP app for drivers?

No. The app is part of NHMP's e-ticketing system built by PITB. Its listing offers no sign-up for citizens.

What happens if I do not pay a motorway ticket?

The offence stays on your licence record and penalty points count against you. Over 20 points in two years suspends your licence for six months.

I got an SMS about a motorway e-challan. Is it real?

Treat it as fake unless it comes with a ticket you were actually given. NHMP does not publish an SMS payment link.

Where do I complain about a Motorway Police ticket?

Call 130 or the Complaint Cell on 051-9320290. For a written complaint, use the Pakistan Citizen Portal, which NHMP links from its website.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

Last checked on 30 September 2026. The absence of a public challan search is based on every menu of nhmp.gov.pk as it loaded that day. The phone numbers and address are read on the NHMP contact page. The on-the-spot handheld ticketing and licence and registration checks are read on the PITB page for the NHMP ticketing system. The e-NHMP description and update date are read on its Google Play listing. The penalty points rule comes from the National Highways Safety Ordinance 2000, published on nhmp.gov.pk. Payment at designated bank branches is reported, not confirmed on an NHMP page.
