Goa (RTO code GA, capital Panaji) is known for strict drunk-driving enforcement, particularly during the peak tourist season, applying the central ₹10,000 penalty under Section 185 of the MV Act. Panaji, Margao and the coastal belt see the most checks.
With large numbers of rented two-wheelers and cars on the roads, helmet and driving-licence checks are also common. The table below lists the exact Goa fine 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 Goa, 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 Goa transport department or on your challan before paying.
