The new Parking Policy for Delhi has been notified by the Delhi Government. Shockingly, it has added certain clauses that were not there in the draft notification. It has declared the entire City as the 'No Parking Zone', except the notified places. It says, "Any area or spot that is not notified and physically demarcated as a parking site/spots shall automatically be considered a 'No Parking Zone' and relevant penalties shall be applicable".
It further states that, "All illegally parked vehicles, including those parked in No Parking Zones, and overstaying in authorised parking areas, shall be seized and removed and penalty shall be charged under the provisions of Motor Vehicle Act 1988.
It further states that, "All illegally parked vehicles, including those parked in No Parking Zones, and overstaying in authorised parking areas, shall be seized and removed and penalty shall be charged under the provisions of Motor Vehicle Act 1988.
Sounds absolutely shocking as Delhi has 1,00,93,470 number of Registered vehicles in the city, while the actual & notified available parking is just for the 72,423 ECS. Does it mean that for the rest of the vehicles, there is no parking available in the city & as the entire city has been declared as the No Parking Zone, if these 1,00,21,047 number of vehicles move out, they will definitely be parking or stopping on the No parking Zone, and as per the new notified parking policy, it is illegal & hence liable for the penalties.
The penalty for this illegal parking has been fixed at the rate of Rs 1/- per kg, for the total weight of the vehicle parked illegally, as per the notified policy. In such a case if your Car weighs 1000 kg, you have to pay a penalty of Rs. 1,000/-.
Shockingly, they have collected all kind of Taxes on the sale of 1,00,93,470 number of vehicles. They have collected Road Tax for this number of vehicles. They have collected Insurance charges for this number of vehicles. They have collected Income Tax from the Buyers as well as sellers of all such vehicles. But they have created the infrastructure, only for the parking of 72,423 ECS in the city.
Since a long time, we have been demanding to introduce the policy of ONE FAMILY ONE CAR. We have been asking to attach the Vehicles with the Pan card & the Aadhar card. We have been asking to ask for the proof of parking from all the vehicles in the city, be it a new one or a second hand.

Rajiv Kakria says -What Mr. Vohra says is correct, allow me to add to the list...... We have been dead against Mixed land Use, increasing FAR and further densification of Delhi..... The Government has been collecting Conversion charges and one time Parking for additional FAR but has failed to create requisite Parking lots...... Whare has the money gone....... WHY SHOULD CITIZENS PAY FOR GOVERNMENT'S INCOMPETENCE...... Personal Vehicles are not a Luxury, where is the Safe, Secure, Sure and non Feecing Public Transport???.....
Neha Sood Puri says -And they haven't stopped selling more vehicles. There is no junkyard for old vehicles that litter our colonies and have become homes for stray dogs and a dumping area.
B S VOHRA says -They wont stop selling more n more vehicles as they are getting huge revenue. Moreover they have now an eye on the parking - to make it a yet another huge source of income.
Yashpal says -Yadi Govt. ney as per required , Sasti , suvidhajanak public transport provide karai hoti to aaj itney vaahan roads per nahi hote.
Sachin Rastogi says -Truly agreed, why we always suffer with your own mistakes.
Dr Dhani Ram says - True.
R N Gupta says - The above content is self explanatory.
B S Vohra says - True. Its shocking that while they dont wanna perform the duties for which they were elected, they just keep on finding the opportunities for more n more revenue even if the aam aadmi has to suffer.
The issue is that if they have not planned properly, if they have not done their duty in a responsible manner, how they can now declare the entire city as a No Parking Zone for the harassment of the residents, and that too with an eye on the hefty collections that can be made using this notification, by way of huge penalties?
