I am an ex Army officer, senior citizen aged 80 years. i was e-challaned ( Challan No PNCCT[protected] Dt.: 09-Jan-2023 11:41 Veh.No.: MH12RF7055) for violation for parking my car in a NO PARKING ZONE in Vishrantwadi Market area on Alandi Road. However, there were no visible signboard to indicate NO PARKING in that area.
The Lady Police officer who challaned me wanted to tow away my vehicle but in view of my age and the attendant hassles, i requested her that i will pay the fine on the spot and not to tow away the vehicle. She agreed and as demanded by her i paid Rs 1072 on the spot. The car was NOT towed away.
However, i later came to know that the fine for such violation is only Rs 500 and balance amount is to meet the Towing expenses. I do not know why she charged me Towing charges when my vehicle was not towed by them at all. I had paid the money through Paytm ( i didn't have credit/debit card on me at that time) at 11.37 am to the account of her assistant Shri Sandeep Kantilal kamble, whereas the challan was made after that @ 11.41 am and i could see it only when I went to e challan site of the Department a couple of days later.
The Traffic Police Department refuses to accept my complaint since Challan is related to towing charges. ( Screenshot enclosed)
I should get complete refund of the amount since there was no signboard in the area for NO PARKING . Even granting it is indeed a violation, i should have been only charged Rs 500 /- and at least the towing charges should be refunded to me since NO TOWING of my Car was done by the police officer concerned.
