Common traffic fines
The offences drivers look up most often. See the full fine list for every offence, or the fine calculator to total a multi-offence challan.
| Offence | Section | First offence | Repeat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riding without a helmet | Section 194D read with Section 129 | ₹1,000 fine and disqualification from holding a driving licence for three months | ₹1,000 — Section 194D fixes a single amount and does not prescribe a higher figure for repeat offences; the Delhi Traffic Police schedule likewise shows ₹1,000 for first and subsequent offences |
| Driving without insurance | Section 196 read with Section 146 | First offence: imprisonment up to 3 months, or a fine of ₹2,000, or both | Subsequent offence: imprisonment up to 3 months, or a fine of ₹4,000, or both |
| Driving without a valid licence | Section 181 read with Section 3 | Imprisonment up to 3 months, or a fine of ₹5,000, or both | ₹5,000 — Section 181 sets one amount and does not prescribe a higher repeat figure; Delhi's published schedule also shows ₹5,000 for first and subsequent offences |
| Drunken driving | Section 185 | First offence: imprisonment up to 6 months, or a fine of ₹10,000, or both | Second or subsequent offence: imprisonment up to 2 years, or a fine of ₹15,000, or both — and, unlike before 2019, there is no three-year window, so any earlier conviction counts |
| Overspeeding | Section 183(1) read with Section 112 | Light motor vehicle: not less than ₹1,000 and up to ₹2,000. Medium or heavy goods or passenger vehicle: not less than ₹2,000 and up to ₹4,000 | Same money range, but for a second or subsequent offence under Section 183(1) the driving licence of the driver shall be impounded as provided in Section 206(4) |
| Using a mobile phone while driving | Section 184, Explanation clause (c) | First offence under Section 184: imprisonment for not less than 6 months and up to 1 year, or a fine of not less than ₹1,000 and up to ₹5,000, or both. State compounding amounts vary widely within that band — Delhi's schedule pins it at the ₹5,000 ceiling, while Maharashtra grades it by vehicle class at ₹1,000 for a 2/3-wheeler, ₹2,000 for an LMV and ₹4,000 for other vehicles | Second or subsequent offence within three years of a previous similar offence: imprisonment up to 2 years, or a fine of ₹10,000, or both — Delhi's schedule shows ₹10,000 for a subsequent offence |
