Bengaluru Traffic Police cross ₹200 crore in fines- Highest ever in city’s history!

From helmet violations to no-parking fines, Bengaluru’s traffic cops set a record in 2025, collecting ₹207.35 crore in just 10 months, more than double last year’s total.

Bengaluru has set a new record in traffic enforcement, collecting over ₹200 crore in fines within just ten months of 2025. According to official data, between January and October, the Bengaluru Traffic Police collected ₹207.35 crore from 51.8 lakh violators, marking the highest-ever annual fine collection in the city’s history.

In comparison, the total fine amount for all of 2024 was only ₹84.91 crore from 82.9 lakh cases, less than half of this year’s revenue. Officials attribute the unprecedented spike to the 50% rebate scheme offered on pending fines between August 23 and September 14, which alone brought in ₹106 crore from 3.86 lakh cleared cases.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Karthik Reddy said the rebate motivated thousands of motorists to settle long-pending dues. He added that ongoing enforcement is now focused on signal jumping, wrong-side driving, and no-parking violations, using both AI-based systems and on-ground checks.

The government has welcomed the revenue boost, as all traffic fine collections are transferred directly to the state treasury to fund welfare programs.
Among offences, helmet violations top the chart, with 15.85 lakh cases for riders without helmets and 8.71 lakh for pillion riders, together accounting for nearly half of all recorded violations. Other common infractions include seat belt non-compliance (5.46 lakh), wrong parking (7.11 lakh), and signal jumping (5.11 lakh).

Bengaluru’s enforcement continues to rely heavily on AI-powered cameras and e-challan systems. In 2024, 94% of cases were booked digitally, while this year, the figure remains high at 87%, reducing manual policing and improving transparency.
