The Telangana police has announced a discount on pending traffic challans from December 26 to January 10, 2024. The discounts are approved by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Friday.

The discounts on traffic fines are categorized based on the type of vehicle. The following discounts are approved:
- For two-wheelers and autos, a discount of 80 percent is sanctioned.
- A 60 percent discount for challans on four-wheelers and heavy vehicles.
- For Road Transport Corporation (RTC) drivers will have to pay 10 percent of the total fine, while the remaining 90 percent will be waived off.
- Pushcarts and petty vendors have to pay 10 percent of the traffic challan, while the remaining 90 percent will be waived off.
