18 violations with penalty amounts as per the central Motor Vehicles Act, 2019.
Traffic Police: 0172-2749900
Chandigarh (RTO code CH) follows the central MV Act 2019 penalties strictly. As a compact, well-planned Union Territory that serves as the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana, it has clearly marked roads and consistently active enforcement.
Camera-based challaning is common across its sectors and roundabouts. Check the table below for the exact Chandigarh fine and MV Act section that applies to 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 Chandigarh, 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 Chandigarh transport department or on your challan before paying.
