With the help of e-evidence, cases will now be registered against those who do dangerous driving.
Deposit the fine within 90 days, otherwise you will be trapped
The ADG said that there is a time limit of 90 days to deposit the fine. Meanwhile, notice is issued twice. If they do not, then their list will go to the Registration Authority ie DTO. After this, there may be problems in transfer, sale, permit etc. of the concerned vehicle.

ADG traffic gave this answer on complaints
Question: The challan was deducted for the helmet of the four wheeler?
Answer: E-challan is sent along with photographic evidence. There can be no scope for this.
Question: Was the challan deducted for the vehicle locked in the garage?
Answer: It takes some time to generate the challan and send it. There is a possibility that the challan may have been issued on a later date on which the vehicle violated the rule.
Question: Same vehicle was challaned four times in a day?
Answer: This can happen if the vehicle violating the rule is exposed to different cameras more than once. There is no such provision in the MV Act that if a vehicle is challaned once, it gets immunity for 24 hours or for a certain time! In such a situation, there may be incidents of challan being deducted more than once.
Question: The vehicle belonged to someone, but the challan was received by someone else?
Answer: There can be two main reasons for this. First vehicle registration should be before 2009. The registrations before this are not uploaded on the Sarathi app, due to which there is a problem in the challan. Second, the wrong number is being used intentionally. A list of such cases is being prepared and sent separately to the SSP for action.
Question: Police is written on the number plate or why no action is taken on the numberless vehicles of Municipal Corporation?
Answer: Two types of cases will be made on such vehicles. First number plate violation, second criminal case for not having registration number. Action will be taken in both the cases.
Question: Why no action on public vehicles?
Answer: According to the report of the Road Safety Council, three times more deaths are happening due to accidents than murder. Among them also the number of deaths due to not having a helmet is high. That’s why, worrying about the lives of the people, the focus is on private vehicles only.
