The government is also worried about the increasing levels of pollution, which is why strict action is being taken against those who break the rules. If you also drive a car and if you do not have a PUC certificate, then the police can issue a challan of Rs 10,000 from you.
In view of the increasing level of Delhi Pollution, traffic challans of more than 54 thousand people have been issued in the last two weeks. According to reports, the challan of these people was issued because they had PUC certificate but this certificate had expired. Police is checking strictly in Delhi, so if you also drive a car in Delhi and want to avoid challan of thousands of rupees, then definitely keep the PUC certificate with you.
