BMC slashes parking fines; unveils new calculation formula

India TV News  

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has introduced a formula-based penalty for unauthorised parking which will be equivalent to about 40 times the existing parking charges, said officials. In July 2019, the civic body had introduced new parking rules and levying steep fines for unauthorised parking within 500 metres of designated public parking lots or BEST bus depots. Hence, under retired IAS officer Gautam Chatterjee, the MPA undertook a comprehensive review of the parking charges and came up with a new formula-based fine. According to a civic body official, a four-wheeler owner will have to pay Rs 4000 fine for unauthorised parking, as the fees for 12-hours parking at parking lots is Rs 100. For four wheeler vehicles, earlier, the fine for unauthorised parking was Rs 10,000 with a late fee of?170 per day, if the owner failed to retrieve the vehicle.
