What happens if the RTO fine in Maharashtra is not paid on time?
It is mandatory to pay RTO fines within 15 days of their issuance. Failure to do so may result in your receiving a notice from the court. Furthermore, late payment may also incur additional penalties.
Pending fines can lead to other complications; for instance, a PUC certificate is a mandatory document for driving on public roads, and regulations now stipulate that all outstanding challans must be cleared in order to get it renewed.
If you leave your fines pending, you will be unable to renew your Pollution Under Control certificate in the future; and if you are caught driving without a valid PUC certificate, you will face further fines.
