Phone wedged between ear and shoulder, no helmet because "it's just a short ride." A camera clicks. Three days later — Rs 6,000 in e-challans. Rs 5,000 for the phone, Rs 1,000 for the helmet.
Pune's traffic enforcement has changed in 2026. With 60+ AI-powered cameras active across the city, the old "I'll get away with it" mindset is a guaranteed way to burn money.

Do Traffic Fines Apply to Rental Bike Riders?
YES — 100%. The fine is YOUR responsibility, not the rental company's.
- AI camera generates challan against vehicle registration number
- Rental company has your identity proof and DL on file — they forward the challan to you
- If stopped by traffic police, your licence gets the challan, not the owner's
- Ignoring it = late fees after 60 days, vehicle flagging, licence complications

Parking Fines — The Silent Wallet Drainer
- MVA fine: Rs 200 for no-parking + towing Rs 300-500

- Current PMC pay-and-park: Rs 20/hour for two-wheelers

- Driving licence (or DigiLocker) — No DL = Rs 5,000
- Vehicle RC — required even for rentals
- Insurance certificate — No insurance = Rs 2,000
- PUC certificate — Expired = Rs 1,000
- Rental agreement — proves authorization
- Helmet (ISI, strap fastened) — No helmet = Rs 1,000
With Boongg: RC, insurance, PUC all accessible digitally. You bring DL + wear the free helmet. That's it.
