Q: Can a dealership be held legally responsible for challans on vehicles it has sold but not yet transferred the RC?

Yes. Until the RC is formally transferred in the Vahan system, the registered owner — still the dealership or previous owner — remains legally liable for any challans issued against that vehicle. This is one of the most common sources of dealership challan disputes and reinforces why prompt RC transfer is critical.

Q: How long does bulk challan resolution typically take with a professional service?

With Cleartrack, the standard resolution window is 10–14 days for most challans. Complex cases involving court notices or multiple jurisdictions may take up to 21 days. This is significantly faster than self-resolution or local agent approaches, which routinely take 30–90 days.

Q: Does the 30% cashback apply to both commercial and non-commercial vehicles in a dealership's fleet?

Yes. Cleartrack's 30% cashback applies to both commercial and non-commercial vehicle challans, making it equally effective for dealerships managing mixed inventory — including trucks, vans, passenger vehicles, and two-wheelers.

Q: What documents does a dealership typically need to submit for bulk challan resolution?

Standard documentation includes: RC copy for each vehicle, current insurance certificate, PAN/GST details of the dealership entity, and in the case of test-drive challans, the driver's license copy and signed consent form. Cleartrack's onboarding checklist guides dealership staff through this in a single submission.

Q: Is it worth pursuing challan dismissal instead of just paying the fine?

Absolutely — for cases with documentation to support it. Research shows that up to 80% of properly documented challans can be dismissed rather than paid. That's far more financially beneficial than settlement. Cleartrack evaluates each challan for dismissal eligibility before defaulting to payment. ---
