Taxi drivers, cab aggregators, goods transporters and fleet owners in Delhi face more challan categories than private owners. Pending challans can also block fitness, permit renewal and RC services. Here’s a practical guide.
Common Commercial Vehicle Challans
| Offence | Section | Penalty (MV Act) |
|---|---|---|
| Driving without permit | 192A | ₹10,000 (first) |
| No fitness certificate | 192 / related | As per section |
| Overloading (goods vehicle) | 194 | ₹20,000 + ₹2,000 per extra tonne |
| No insurance | 196 | ₹2,000 (first) |
| No PUC | 190(2) | Up to ₹10,000 |
| No-entry violation (heavy vehicles) | 177 / 115 orders | As per section |
| Overspeeding (medium/heavy) | 183 | ₹2,000 – ₹4,000 |
| Driving without licence | 181 | ₹5,000 |
Always check the exact section on the challan.
Why Fleets Pile Up Challans
- Multiple drivers using the same vehicle
- Camera challans arriving on the owner’s mobile, not the driver’s
- Drivers changing jobs before challans are noticed
How Fleet Owners Should Manage Challans
- Check all vehicles weekly on echallan.parivahan.gov.in.
- Keep a driver log (vehicle, driver, date, time) to assign responsibility.
- Pay or contest within 45 days under the new Delhi rules.
- Club old court challans for the Lok Adalat (next on 25 October 2026) or Weekend Court.
Driver Responsibility
Many fleets recover challan amounts from drivers. A clear written agreement and trip records help resolve disputes.
