Traffic Fines in Madhya Pradesh

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

Traffic Police: 0755-2443860

Madhya Pradesh (RTO code MP, capital Bhopal) applies the central MV Act 2019 penalties and has expanded CCTV coverage along its highways, increasing camera-based detection of speeding and signal violations. Bhopal, Indore and Jabalpur see the most enforcement activity.

With more automated challans now being issued on highway stretches, it is worth checking pending dues regularly. The table below lists current Madhya Pradesh fine amounts and MV Act sections by 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 Madhya 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 Madhya Pradesh transport department or on your challan before paying.

What is the fine for drunk driving in Madhya Pradesh?

Riding without a helmet attracts ₹1,000 under Section 194D, plus disqualification from holding a licence for three months. This is the central statutory amount.
How can I check pending challans in Madhya Pradesh?
Visit echallan.parivahan.gov.in and enter your vehicle number or DL number. You can also use the mParivahan app. Traffic Police helpline: 0755-2443860.
Are traffic fines in Madhya 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 Madhya Pradesh, so this page lists the central MV Act 2019 amounts as the baseline. Confirm the payable amount on your challan or with the Madhya Pradesh transport department.
