What’s inside:
This article gives details about a new scheme by the Delhi government to help vehicle owners with traffic fines.
The Delhi government is planning to introduce a new scheme called the Amnesty Scheme to help vehicle owners. This scheme will offer discounts of 50 to 70 percent on unpaid traffic fines, easing the financial burden on many.
The aim of this scheme is to clear the backlog of traffic fines and reduce the pressure on courts. Vehicle owners will likely get 2-3 months to pay their reduced fines once the scheme is announced.
This amnesty will apply to both traffic and transport-related fines. It will cover issues like expired pollution certificates, driving in the wrong direction, and overloading. However, serious violations such as drunk driving and driving without a valid license will not be included.
Key points to note include: Only non-serious traffic violations are eligible for this amnesty. E-challans will be used for violations, providing photographic evidence. Payments can be made online, and delays in payment can lead to complications.
If the response to this scheme is not satisfactory, the department may take strict actions, including canceling vehicle registrations. Vehicle owners with multiple unpaid fines may also face restrictions on online transactions related to their vehicles.
Summary:
- The Delhi government is launching an Amnesty Scheme for traffic fines.
- Vehicle owners can get a discount of 50-70% on outstanding fines.
- The scheme will not cover serious traffic violations.
- Payments can be made online, with photographic evidence for violations.
