The fine for cars is ₹10,000 whereas for autos and two-wheelers it's ₹8000 and ₹5000 respectively. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) along with Mumbai Traffic Police has listed 26 Public Parking Lots and in the view to decrease congestion in these dense traffic areas, BMC had formulated this new rule which was applicable from July 7.
Additionally, the civic officials were armed with cameras to record the towing of the vehicle to avoid any harassment complaints. If the vehicle is not collected on time or if the fine is not paid, the civic authorities will further charge ₹170 and ₹110 per day for four-wheelers and two-wheelers respectively.
