More than 5 challans in a year will trigger an alert; unpaid fines may lead to temporary license suspension

How penalties are issued and contested

Forget your helmet, skip the seat belt, or jump a signal? Each counts toward the five-strike limit, but only offenses occurring within a rolling 12-month period are counted.
Most challans will show up fast: camera ones within three days and physical ones in 15 days.
If you think you got a ticket by mistake, you can contest it online within 45 days; disputes are sorted in about a month.

If you disagree with the decision, you may pay 50% of the fine and approach the court; if the court upholds the penalty, you must pay the remaining amount.

Challan totals not specified in source

The source does not report challan counts, vehicle totals, or a 2025 figure; no such numbers (such as 1.3 crore challans, nearly nine million vehicles, or ₹500 crore) are provided.

Officials hope these stricter rules and stricter enforcement measures against unlicensed driving will finally get people to take road safety seriously.
