Starting March 1st, the government has massively increased traffic fines.

Stricter rules, heavier penalties with some even coming with jail time!

Drunk driving Used to be just ₹1,500 and now ₹10,000 or 6 months in jail. Repeat it, and you could pay ₹15,000 with up to 2 years in jail.

Riding without a helmet? Was just ₹100 earlier and now ₹1,000. Plus, your license could be suspended for 3 months.

Using your phone while driving? A 10x increase! The fine was ₹500, now a steep ₹5,000.

Jumping a red light? Used to be ₹1,000, now you’ll pay ₹5,000.

Not giving way to an ambulance? No fine before, now it’s ₹10,000.

Overloading a vehicle? Was ₹2,000, now ₹20,000—10 times more!

Letting a minor drive? You’ll pay ₹25,000, face 3 years in jail, and your child won’t get a license until 25.

Traffic rules are now stricter than ever. Are these fines too harsh or exactly what we need?
