Frequently asked questions
Does it cover every state?
It queries the national challan system, so coverage follows whatever each state has published there. A vehicle with no record returns an empty list rather than an error.
How much does the e-Challan Check API cost?
The e-Challan Check API on API Sathi starts at ₹6 per successful call plus 18% GST, paid from a prepaid wallet. There is no monthly fee or minimum volume, and recharges of ₹1,000 or more earn bonus credit. Live prices for every API are on the pricing page.

No. You pay only for successful calls. If the source is unavailable, times out or rejects the request, the amount held for that call is released straight back to your wallet.
