Many vehicle owners fail to pay traffic fines even months after being issued challans, leading to multiple penalties on a single vehicle. In response, the DCP Traffic has issued strict guidelines, instructing vehicle owners to clear their fines within 90 days. If the fine remains unpaid beyond this period and the vehicle is spotted on the road, it will be seized.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Virendra Vij has directed all traffic inspectors and zonal officers in Gurugram to not only enforce these rules but also conduct awareness campaigns. He emphasized that vehicle owners must clear pending fines within 90 days. If a vehicle is found with unpaid challans beyond this period during routine checks, it will be impounded under the Motor Vehicles Act.
“During re-checking of vehicles, if the challan payment is found outstanding after 90 days, the vehicle can be detained under Section 167(8) of the Motor Vehicle Act. The last date for payment of all past outstanding challans has been set as 10.02.2025. Therefore, people are advised to clear their outstanding challans before 10.02.2025,” said DCP Vij.
“Any driver issued a fine for traffic violations must pay it on time. If their vehicle is checked and is found to have pending dues, strict action will be taken against them,” he said.
