# Traffic fine enforcement measures in India and Guyana > Developing situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/traffic-fine-enforcement-measures-in-india-and-guyana > Updated: 2026-10-29T19:19:14.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Authorities in India and Guyana are implementing stricter measures to collect unpaid traffic fines. In India, the Supreme Court issued a directive to link outstanding e-challans to essential vehicle services. Motorists with unpaid fines will face blocked vehicle registration renewals, restrictions on issuing duplicate registrations, and inability to update owner addresses. The mandate also prevents the issuance of Pollution Under Control certificates and blacklists vehicles on the central Parivahan portal to stop sales or ownership transfers. For repeat offenders, the court directed the suspension of driving licences. In Guyana, the Guyana Revenue Authority announced it will prevent motorists with outstanding tickets from renewing road licences, certificates of fitness, or driver’s licences. This follows reports that over 39,000 tickets issued by the Guyana Police Force remain unpaid. The Attorney General also instructed officers to issue citations rather than detaining motorists or vehicles for certain offences, noting that unlawful detention could lead to legal action. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-29: Guyana to block licence renewals for unpaid traffic tickets Guyana is implementing measures to block the renewal of driver’s licences and vehicle fitness certificates for motorists with unpaid traffic tickets. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/guyana-to-block-licence-renewals-for-unpaid-traffic-tickets ### 2026-10-04: Supreme Court of India mandates penalties for unpaid traffic challans The Supreme Court of India has ordered that unpaid traffic fines will now block vehicle registration renewals, PUC certificates, and driving licence updates to ensure stricter enforcement. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/supreme-court-of-india-mandates-penalties-for-unpaid-traffic-challans --- Cite as: Traffic fine enforcement measures in India and Guyana.
