PTPKP traffic fine codes and penalty list Peshawar KPK

PTPKP Traffic Fine Codes 2026: Complete Challan & Penalty List for Peshawar, KPK

Getting a traffic challan in Peshawar and not sure what the fine actually means? Peshawar Traffic Police (PTPKP) publishes an official list of traffic fine codes covering everything from overspeeding and signal violations to helmet, seatbelt, and parking offences. This post lays out the complete PTPKP traffic fine list so you know exactly what each violation code costs.

This article is based on the official fine schedule published by Peshawar Traffic Police at ptpkp.gov.pk/traffic-fine-codes.

Note on multiple amounts: Many violations below list more than one fine figure (e.g. "500 / 1,000 / 1,000 / 1,500"). On the official PTPKP page these are shown as a single unlabeled sequence, which typically corresponds to escalating fines for repeat offences or different vehicle/violation tiers. The exact tier definitions are not spelled out on the source page, so treat the first figure as the base fine and refer to the official PTPKP fine codes page or your challan for the tier that applies to your specific case.
