Will policemen stop me for checking the documents?

All the police officers have been clearly told not to stop the motorists merely for checking the
documents. Only when the motorist has committed some traffic violations, he can be stopped,
documents checked and penalized for non-possession. There are strict instructions against police
men stopping the vehicles unless you commit some traffic violation.

Who can receive payment of spot fine?

Above the rank of Police Head Constable is authorized to receive payments against violation and
issue a L -temp receipt. No Police Constable can issue a L - temp receipt and therefore receive a
payment. They can however record the violations on the basis of which violation will follow. This L temp can be settled at concerned traffic police Division or Prosecution section of the D.C.P.Traffic
Office. Incase a Constable threatens you with spot fine, insist on getting receipt and the chances are
that he will let you go because he is not authorized to issue a receipt or receive money.

Who is authorized to collect the traffic fine on the spot?


Any traffic branch officer of and above the rank of Head Constable of Police duly authorized with a receipt
book.
