How to pay a California traffic ticket driving under Indian License?

Typically, if a police officer saw you, he will stop you immediately and give you a ticket. You can pay that from anywhere in the world online (credit card, etc) or via a check.

If you were photographed by an automated system, the ticket will be mailed to the registered owner; if it is a rental car, to the rental car company. They will tell the police your name and address, and charge you a fee to your credit card for executing this request (this is not your ticket fee, only the fee to the rental car company to tell the police your name).
The police will then decide to sent you the ticket or not, depending on gravity and agreements between countries - if you are gone from the USA, unless you ran someone over, they will probably just toss it - or they will mail it to you.
It could be that it is still active on file when you come back in the future, and if you apply for a Visa or move to the USA, they might come and collect the ticket.

Aside from that, if you pass the stopping line while the light is still yellow, you are good. You would have to enter the crossing after it turns red to get in trouble.
