Amended by the Jan Vishwas Act, 2026 — in force from 15 August 2026

(J) In section 75,— (i) in the marginal heading, after the words “motor cabs”, the words “and motor cycles” shall be inserted; (ii) in sub-section (2), in clause (g), after the words “motor cabs”, the words “and motor cycles” shall be inserted.

Amending instruction from the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2026 (No. 8 of 2026), Schedule entry 51, quoted verbatim. It took effect for the Motor Vehicles Act on 15 August 2026 under S.O. 4100(E), 24 July 2026. Where it conflicts with the text above, this later change prevails.

Before you rely on this. The base text above is the Act as consolidated by the India Code, which predates the 2019 amendment; 2019 and 2026 changes are shown separately rather than merged in. Later amendments may also apply. For anything official, read the current text on the e-Gazette or the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways site.
