MoRTH Proposes Digital Traffic Warning System and Penalties for Unpaid Challans
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has proposed draft amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules introducing a digital traffic warning system that records violations on a central portal. Repeat offenders may face stricter actions, including blocking vehicle license and registration services if traffic challans remain unpaid after final adjudication. The draft also includes provisions for online adjudication, electronic hearings, and penalties for officials delaying decisions. Public feedback is invited before finalizing the rules.
