Hey All,
Road SAFTEY is a must without any excuses as it SAVES lives and prevents accidents. Nothing is more important then ones LIFE and moreover traffic rules are for our protection, not punishment. How simple should it be to understand if we follow all the traffic rules there is no penalty to be given and everyone is just happy. Inorder to curb traffic violations, Indian government has brought in some drastic changes to the traffic violation fines as per the latest amendment to The Motor Vehicles Act, 2019. The new traffic rules are more stringent, with a significant increase in penalties for traffic violations (like drinking and driving, not wearing a helmet, driving/riding without valid car/bike insurance, driving without seat belts, using a mobile phone while drivingdisregarding traffic lights, etc.).
| Type of Offence | Old Fine | New Fine |
|---|---|---|
| Driving under the influence of alcohol | Rs.1000–1500 | Rs.10,000 and/or 6 months imprisonment |
| Riding without helmet | Rs.100 | Rs.1000 and scrapping of licence for 3 months |
| Driving without seat belts | Rs.100 | Rs.1000 |
| Using a mobile phone while driving | Rs.500 | Rs.5000 |
| Driving without a valid driving licence | Rs.500 | Rs.5000 |
| Triple riding | Rs.100 | Rs.1000 |
| Driving without valid insurance | Rs.200–400 | Rs.2000–4000 |
| Driving without a valid PUC | Rs.1000 | Rs.10,000 and/or 6 months imprisonment or community service |
| Dangerous driving | Rs.500 | Rs.5000 |
| Obstructing ways for emergency vehicles | Rs.1000 | Rs.10,000 |
| Overspeeding | Rs.500 | Rs.5000 |
| Traffic violation made by a minor | Rs.2500 | Rs.25,000 + 3 years imprisonment + vehicle registration cancellation (1 year) + licence ban till 25 |
| Signal jumping | Rs.500 | Rs.5000 |
Latest Traffic Violations & Penalties
Check the above list of traffic fines. Please note that these fines are already effective from 1st March 2025. Think twice before you plan to break any traffic rule as you can see the new fines are extremely high and strictly enforced. If you will carefully see the fines are inclreased 10x i.e.; check the - "Mobile phone use while driving" Increased tenfold to Rs.5,000 and the same goes true with driving without a seat belt along with riding a bike/scooter without a helmet the fine is 10x now so be cautious. I normally follow all the rule but at times, I get hit with this - "Parking rules violations" and that to becuase most of the time there are no sign board but cant help it here in India. Anyways that is a sperate sotry to talk about. Well the point is that these aren't just monetary fines, they're reminders that ONEs safety and that of others on the road is a MUST. Lets us now look into how one can check challan for their vehicle if there is any.
How to check for Pending CHALLANs....
There are many mobile Apps out there where you can check for the any challan pending on your vehicle. The best and the easiet one is from Acko via their App and the web portal - where you just need to enter you vehicle number and click continue. Verify by the OTP [One Time Password] and finally see any pending challans. And incase you find any then you can pay the fine via the Acko mobile App. Ok now before I end this post, I would say breaking traffic rules is no longer a small matter. You can see the hefty fines being imposed. So why get into that matter and not focus on driving with SAFTEY. So Drive SAFE & be SAFE.. Not just to avoid fines, but to protect your life and others LIFE... Be SAFE out there folks... Take Care... Happy Driving with NO FINEs & Challans to be paid....Cheers
