What are the Fines Levied by the MCGM?
Mumbai is the commercial capital of India, and as we journey across the city, either for work or for personal engagements, we are often amazed by the marvel called Mumbai. On the other hand, there is a lot we witness in the city, that doesn’t leave a good feeling in our hearts.
As Citizens of this City, it is our duty to keep it clean, but not everyone follows this belief. On most days we see people urinating on walls, littering the roads and spitting wherever they desire, although they are all punishable offences. Even when you walk your dog, you are expected to clean up the mess or else pay a hefty fine.
There are many episodes such as these where the perpetrator is legally supposed to pay a fine and following are a few examples of such instances:
| Activity | Fine (Rs) |
|---|---|
| Spitting | 200 |
| Urinating | 200 |
| Defecating | 100 |
| Littering | 200 |
| Car Washing | 1,000 |
| Pet litter | 500 |
| Parking while sweeping | 100 |
| Bird and Animal feeding | 500 |
| Non-segregation – Hazardous Waste | 1,000 – 10,000 |
| Non-segregation – Garden Waste | 100 |
| Non-segregation – Bio-medical Waste | 20,000 |
| Non-segregation – Bio-degradable Waste | 100 |
