Repeat traffic violators risk losing licence under new motor vehicle rules

New Delhi: The Centre has made the vehicle challan system more stringent under the newly amended Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 2026, which have come into effect from January 1, 2026. Under the new rules, a driver will face automatic disqualification of their driving licence if five or more challans are issued against them within a year. Once a challan is issued, it must be paid within 45 days.
