This is How to Pay E-Tilang Through BCA ATM
E-Tilang is an electronic ticketing system that utilizes CCTV cameras as monitors. This technology aims to replace the role of police in regulating traffic. If there are drivers who violate the rules, the officers in the monitoring room will photograph the vehicle and its license plate.
Then, the violator will be issued an electronic ticket and required to pay a fine at a designated bank. As we know, the police rely on BRI bank as a payment partner. So what about users of other banks like BCA? Is there an easy way to pay fines, for example, through BCA ATMs?
Before discussing further about how to pay E-Tilang fines through BCA ATMs, it is good for you to know what points constitute violations in E-Tilang on the streets of the capital.
Since the trial was implemented in 2018, E-Tilang has continued to innovate regarding the violations that will be recorded. Initially, only three violations were determined, namely traffic sign violations, vehicle light usage, and odd-even rules for car drivers.
Now, there are several rules categorized as violations that will be recorded through the E-Tilang system.
1. Odd-even violations
2. Road markings and signs violations
3. Improper parking
4. Running a red light
5. Going against traffic
6. Speed limit violations
7. Not wearing a seatbelt
8. Lane violations
9. Crossing in the busway lane
10. Overloading and dimensional violations
11. Using a mobile phone while driving
12. Picking up or dropping off passengers and stopping in random places
13. Carrying more than one passenger
14. Not wearing a helmet
The implementation of electronic tickets is outlined in Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation. This regulation also describes the maximum fines for traffic violations.
For example, based on Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation, motorcyclists who do not wear helmets are subject to a maximum fine of Rp250,000. Then, road marking violations incur a maximum fine of Rp500,000 and a two-month prison sentence. Using a mobile phone is punishable by three months in prison with a maximum fine of Rp750,000.
E-Tilang is different from attending a ticket hearing or redeeming a ticket at the District Attorney's Office, which may incur regular fines.
How to pay E-Tilang fines at BCA ATMs
Paying E-Tilang fines can be done through a virtual account transfer to BRI Bank. The deadline is up to two weeks after the ticket slip is issued, usually via email or SMS.
Violators can check information regarding the E-Tilang they received, such as the location of the violation, the range of fines, the enforcing officer, and so on, through the Etilang.info website. Here are the steps:
1. Visit the Etilang.info website
2. Enter the blank or registration number and then click SEARCH (Example C12345678)
3. Various information will be displayed, starting from the identity of the violator, the enforcer, the article, to the maximum fine.
If you do not pay or exceed the deadline, the vehicle registration certificate (STNK) will be temporarily blocked. As a result, you will not be able to pay taxes until the E-Tilang fine is settled and the STNK is renewed.
To unblock the STNK, you must attend a ticket hearing at the District Court. In that hearing, the violator is also given the opportunity to contest if they have strong arguments that the violation did not occur.
If you do not have a BRI bank account, you can also pay the fine through BCA ATMs, here’s how.
1. Insert your BCA ATM card, then enter your PIN
2. Select the other transaction menu, choose transfer, select to another bank
3. Enter the BRI bank code (002) followed by the 15-digit fine payment number
4. Enter the amount according to the fine amount
5. Follow the steps displayed
6. Once done, save the transfer receipt to show to the enforcer.
The presence of E-Tilang is expected to create a culture of discipline in traffic. As drivers, it is certainly our duty to comply with traffic regulations for the comfort and safety of ourselves and other drivers.
