The Gurgaon traffic police have fortified their enforcement of the requirement that all vehicles must have valid insurance and PUC certificates. Before now, such breaches would only be detected by police during manual checks. However, with the new technology, such breaches can now be detected using sophisticated software and CCTV.
This is being done to enhance road safety and ensure that government-issued regulations are met. A vehicle owner violating this regulation must be ready to be slapped with considerable penalties. Therefore, they should keep their documents up to date at all times.

How The New System Works?
The new system is designed to capture vehicle particulars with CCTV cameras. In cases where any traffic law is violated, the software will additionally verify the vehicle‘s PUC and insurance records. If any of them have expired, a traffic challan will be issued automatically.
Fines For Expired Documents
Maintaining current documents for your vehicle is very crucial. Failure to maintain them may attract serious penalties. Below are the penalties associated with closing vehicle document expiries:
| Violation | Fine Amount |
|---|
| Expired PUC | ₹10,000 |
| Lapsed Insurance | ₹2,000 |
These penalties correspond to the new regulations under the Motor Vehicles Act, and hence it is vital to update one’s vehicle documents.
Expansion Of Surveillance
Gurgaon initiated the use of online traffic challans in 2019 when a few CCTV cameras were set up in selected locations. Now, the city boasts 10,000 CCTV cameras and many of them are equipped with AI capability to track violations like:
-
Running red lights
-
Driving in the opposite direction
-
Failing to wear seat belts or helmets
-
Parking in restricted zones
Traffic Violation Statistics
In 2023, Gurgaon police issued 13.6 lakh challans, collecting ₹15.1 crore in fines. The most common violations included:
| Traffic Violation | Number of Cases (2023) |
|---|
| Driving without a helmet | 2.1 lakh |
| Wrong-side driving | 1.7 lakh |
| Illegal parking | 1.5 lakh |
Conclusion
Gurgaon police plan to enhance compliance with traffic rules through the use of automated surveillance and other measures. Vehicle owners need to be particularly careful regarding the validity of their insurance and PUC certificates to evade hefty fines.
As Gurgaon builds its smart traffic management system, motorists must embrace these changes and assume responsibility for the legal requirements of their vehicles. Commuters would have safer and better-managed roads in the city if they obeyed traffic rules and kept relevant documents up to date.
