What Are the Traffic Fines in Delhi?

After implementing the Motor Vehicle (Amendment) Act, 2019 in Delhi, the traffic challan fines have been revised. A list of some traffic challan fines is given below-

1. Driving without a license: Rs. 5000.
2. Driving by minor: Rs. 25000.
3. Driving without the helmet: Rs. 1000.
4. Drunken driving: Rs. 10000 and or 6 months imprisonment.
5. Obstructing emergency vehicle: Rs. 10000.
6. Driving without a seat belt: Rs. 1000.
7. Dangerous driving/ jumping red light: Rs. 1000 to Rs. 5000 and/or 6 months to 1 year imprisonment (license seized).
8. Over speeding:
   • LMV: Rs. 1000 to Rs. 2000.
   • MPV/HPV: Rs. 2000 to Rs. 4000 (licence seizure).
9. Driving without insurance:
   • Rs. 2000 and/or 3 months imprisonment.
   • Rs. 4000 for a subsequent offence.

Many states like Kerala, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan have deferred (postponed) implementation of revised rates due to a 200% increase in challan rates. Also, an individual can apply for renewal of a driving license one year before the expiry of the license until one year after the expiry. If you apply for renewal after completion of one year of the expiry of the license, the individual had to undertake the driving license test again.
