Recently, the Delhi Traffic Police witnessed a significant rise in stop line violations at traffic signals this year, with a 32% increase compared to last year, as reported by PTI.

In 2019, the government updated the Motor Vehicles Act to increase road safety and minimise traffic offences. These amendments brought considerable alterations to how roads are administered in the country.

The Indian Road Rules, known as the ‘Rules of the Road Regulation,’ have been in effect since July 1989 and remain in force today. These laws and recommendations apply to all Indian drivers (two-, three-, and four-wheelers, including buses and trucks) to ensure orderly traffic and safe driving.

Along similar lines, the Traffic police in Delhi have stepped up enforcement of traffic rules and imposed hefty fines to ensure motorists follow traffic regulations, with stricter actions being taken against repeat offenders, with challans (tickets) being issued, as according to Delhi’s traffic police laws and the Indian Motor Vehicle Act, violating, transgressing, or disregarding any of these rules is a serious offence.

Enforcing these traffic laws (decrees, rules, codes of practice, and acts) can significantly reduce the number of road accidents. Issuing challans to lawbreakers can motivate them to follow the rules and penalties and legal proceedings serve as powerful deterrents.

Here is a complete list of updated vehicle challan/fines/penalty lists applicable in the Delhi NCT region in 2024:
