Traffic Challans For Expired Insurance And PUC

The Gurgaon traffic police have fortified their enforcement of the requirement that all vehicles must have valid insurance and PUC certificates. Before now, such breaches would only be detected by police during manual checks. However, with the new technology, such breaches can now be detected using sophisticated software and CCTV.

This is being done to enhance road safety and ensure that government-issued regulations are met. A vehicle owner violating this regulation must be ready to be slapped with considerable penalties. Therefore, they should keep their documents up to date at all times.

How The New System Works?

The new system is designed to capture vehicle particulars with CCTV cameras. In cases where any traffic law is violated, the software will additionally verify the vehicle‘s PUC and insurance records. If any of them have expired, a traffic challan will be issued automatically.

Fines For Expired Documents

Maintaining current documents for your vehicle is very crucial. Failure to maintain them may attract serious penalties. Below are the penalties associated with closing vehicle document expiries:

Violation	Fine Amount
Expired PUC	₹10,000
Lapsed Insurance	₹2,000

These penalties correspond to the new regulations under the Motor Vehicles Act, and hence it is vital to update one’s vehicle documents.

Expansion Of Surveillance

Gurgaon initiated the use of online traffic challans in 2019 when a few CCTV cameras were set up in selected locations. Now, the city boasts 10,000 CCTV cameras and many of them are equipped with AI capability to track violations like:

Running red lights
Driving in the opposite direction
Failing to wear seat belts or helmets
Parking in restricted zones

Traffic Violation Statistics

In 2023, Gurgaon police issued 13.6 lakh challans, collecting ₹15.1 crore in fines. The most common violations included:

Traffic Violation	Number of Cases (2023)
Driving without a helmet	2.1 lakh
Wrong-side driving	1.7 lakh
Illegal parking	1.5 lakh

Public Reactions

Many regular road users believe that such measures would improve road safety, but others feel that sensitisation has to be done. Many still contravene traffic regulations. Despite the assurance of more enforcement and stiffer penalties, the violation persists.

Conclusion

Gurgaon police plan to enhance compliance with traffic rules through the use of automated surveillance and other measures. Vehicle owners need to be particularly careful regarding the validity of their insurance and PUC certificates to evade hefty fines.

As Gurgaon builds its smart traffic management system, motorists must embrace these changes and assume responsibility for the legal requirements of their vehicles. Commuters would have safer and better-managed roads in the city if they obeyed traffic rules and kept relevant documents up to date.
