80 MILLION CHALLANS ISSUED; EVERY SECOND VEHICLE FINED AT LEAST ONCE
-
A recent survey report by CARS24 has revealed that traffic violation fines imposed in India have surpassed the GDP of many small nations.
According to its 2024 report, approximately 80 million traffic challans were issued, with total fines of around Rs120 billion. This means almost every second vehicle on the road has been fined at least once.
However, a significant portion Rs90 billion remains unpaid.
Out of the 1.4 billion people living in India, only 110 million own a vehicle.
This shows that a relatively small section of the population is responsible for a large number of violations, raising concerns about traffic discipline and accountability.
