Overview
- The proposal would lift traffic challans from the current Rs200–1,000 range to Rs2,000–20,000.
- Overspeeding fines are tiered by vehicle: motorcycles Rs2,000, cars up to 2000cc Rs5,000, cars above 2000cc Rs20,000, and commercial or public service vehicles Rs15,000.
- Offence-specific penalties include Rs2,000–15,000 for signal violations, Rs10,000 for zebra crossing breaches, and Rs2,000–15,000 for using a mobile phone while driving.
- Safety and compliance measures include booking underage drivers, mandatory seat belts for drivers, helmets for pillion riders, and action against illegal vehicle alterations.
- Digital enforcement would be formalized through legal status for digital challans and computerized driving licences, alongside a demerit system deducting 2–4 points per violation with licence suspension after 20 points for six months to one year.
