The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the Delhi government's decision to continue banning two-wheeler taxis in absence of policy for them.Earlier, on 26 May, the Delhi high court directed the Union Territory government that no coercive action should be taken against the bike-taxi aggregator till the final policy was notified. However, the Delhi government went against the Supreme Court order.In banning the commercial two-wheeler service, the government also stated that if app-based providers were found flouting rules or facilitating such operations, they could be fined up to INR 100,000 ($1,208). Bike taxi services are quite new in India, and the 1988 Motor Vehicles Act does not apply to them. Since bikes are private vehicles, they cannot be used for commercial operations, like transporting passengers.

Supreme Court Bans Two Wheeler Taxis in Delhi

In February, the Delhi government banned bike taxis, stating that using personal vehicles as commercial taxis violates the 1988 Motor Vehicle Act.
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the Delhi government's decision to continue banning two-wheeler taxis in absence of policy for them.
Earlier, on 26 May, the Delhi high court directed the Union Territory government that no coercive action should be taken against the
bike-taxi aggregator till the final policy was notified. However, the Delhi government went against the Supreme Court order.
The Delhi government told the court that it would form a policy for two-wheelers by 30 June.
In banning the commercial two-wheeler service, the government also stated that if app-based providers were found flouting rules or facilitating such operations, they could be fined up to INR 100,000 ($1,208).
Bike taxi services are quite new in India, and the 1988 Motor Vehicles Act does not apply to them. Since bikes are private vehicles, they cannot be used for commercial operations, like transporting passengers.
