The Section 192 MV Act is for driving motor vehicles without registration, and it goes as follows:
1. If any individual drives a vehicle or permits the vehicle to be used in contravention of the provision of Section 39, is liable for punishment. Here’s the Section 192 MV Act fine and punishment:
A)For the first offence -
The individual guilty of the offence will have to pay a penalty between ₹2000 and ₹5000 and/or face imprisonment of three months.
B)For the second and subsequent offence -
The individual guilty of the offence will have to pay a penalty of ₹10,000 and/or face imprisonment of up to one year.
2. As per Motor Vehicle Act 192, nothing under this section is applicable for vehicles used in case of emergencies such as the conveyance of people suffering from sickness or injuries. The same is followed in case of transportation of food or materials to relieve distress or of medical goods for the same purpose. However, the individual using the vehicle in case of such emergencies will have to report the same to the Regional Transport Authority within 7 days from the date of such use.
