The new Motor Vehicle Act was established on September 01, 2019. According to this new bill, any minor driving errors will attract huge penalties. All the new regulations and hike fines that came into effect from September 2019 were listed out on August 28, 2019.

However, depending on the new penalty structure, it has been increased to INR 2000 and/or imprisonment of up to three months.

Likewise, there has been a significant hike in other offences as well. It is discussed in the table below –
