Traffic Fines Mumbai 2019: Updated list of penalties for traffic violations

In the last three years, the introduction of the e-challan system coupled with the implementation of the city-wide CCTV network has led to better detection of traffic violations in Mumbai – the most car-congested city in the country.

While the collection of traffic fines is still slow, with motorists still owing the traffic police around Rs 150 crore, the recovery rate is gradually improving as the department resorts to means like seizing licenses, incentivising officials among others to settle unpaid e-challans.

In a bid to keep Mumbaikars abreast about the updated penalties for traffic violations, here’s a comprehensive list of all offences along with the fines they attract.
