The Karnataka government has announced a 20-day amnesty period starting June 21, allowing vehicle owners to settle their unpaid traffic fines at a 50% discount. This initiative marks the third such effort in three years, with previous programs having successfully resolved over 77.4 lakh traffic violation cases, generating nearly ₹201 crore in revenue. The current scheme is unique as it also includes pending cases from the Transport Department dating back to 1991. The Karnataka State Legal Services Authority estimates that approximately ₹2,827 crore in penalties remain outstanding across the state. Under this program, individuals can pay half of their outstanding penalties, effectively closing their cases without further dues. The initiative is open to all vehicle owners with unpaid fines or pending cases. It is crucial for those eligible to act quickly, as full penalties will apply once the amnesty window closes. This program aims to encourage compliance and clear the backlog of traffic violations in Karnataka.
