Traffic Police: 0866-2570500

Andhra Pradesh (RTO code AP, capital Amaravati) applies the central MV Act 2019 penalties. Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Guntur are the main enforcement centres, with camera-based challaning expanding across the state's cities and highways.

For most offences the amount matches the national baseline. Use the table below to confirm the exact Andhra Pradesh penalty and MV Act section for each violation.

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 Andhra Pradesh, 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 Andhra Pradesh transport department or on your challan before paying.

What is the fine for drunk driving in Andhra Pradesh?

How can I check pending challans in Andhra Pradesh?
Visit echallan.parivahan.gov.in and enter your vehicle number or DL number. You can also use the mParivahan app. Traffic Police helpline: 0866-2570500.
Are traffic fines in Andhra Pradesh 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 Andhra Pradesh, so this page lists the central MV Act 2019 amounts as the baseline. Confirm the payable amount on your challan or with the Andhra Pradesh transport department.
