The government is also worried about the increasing level of pollution, this 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 against you.
In view of the increasing level of pollution in Delhi, traffic challans have been issued to more than 54 thousand people in the last two weeks. According to reports, these people have been issued challans because they had PUC certificates but these certificates had expired. Police are strictly checking in Delhi, so if you also drive a car in Delhi and want to avoid challans of thousands of rupees, then keep the PUC certificate with you.
If you do not have a PUC certificate, you may not only get a traffic challan but may also be punished. Before knowing the answer to the question of how much punishment is there, first, know what PUC mean. PUC means Pollution Under Control Certificate.
In this certificate, it is written how much pollution is coming out from your vehicle and whether it is within the pollution limit or not. Note that only those vehicles get this certificate whose vehicles spread less pollution, if you come to know while getting the certificate that the car is spreading more pollution, then get the car repaired and then get the certificate made.
PUC Certificate ChallanIf you do not have this certificate or it has expired, then you will have to pay a challan of Rs 10,000. In some circumstances, the vehicle can be confiscated and the car owner can also be sentenced to up to 6 months.
