Traffic Fines in Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Written and checked byManju Shekhar· Motor Law & Compliance· Updated 23 May 2026

18 violations with penalty amounts as per the central Motor Vehicles Act, 2019.

About these amounts

The figures below are the penalties prescribed by the central Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 as amended in 2019, which apply across India. We do not currently hold a verified compounding-fee notification issued specifically by Andaman & Nicobar Islands, so no state-level variation is shown here.

Under Section 200 of the Act, a State Government may notify its own compounding amounts, and several states charge more or less than the central figure for the same offence. Treat this table as the statutory baseline and confirm the amount actually payable with the Andaman & Nicobar Islands transport department or on your challan before paying.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I check pending challans in Andaman & Nicobar Islands?
Visit echallan.parivahan.gov.in and enter your vehicle number or DL number. You can also use the mParivahan app.
Are traffic fines in Andaman & Nicobar Islands different from central fines?
Possibly. Section 200 of the MV Act lets each State Government notify its own compounding amounts, so the amount on your challan can differ from the central figure. We have not been able to verify a separate compounding notification for Andaman & Nicobar Islands, so this page lists the central MV Act 2019 amounts as the baseline. Confirm the payable amount on your challan or with the Andaman & Nicobar Islands transport department.
