Traffic officer of 'above the rank of Head Constable' duly authorized in this regard to collect fine amounting more than Rs. 100 in Delhi.
However, Important to note that:- No Head Constable can prosecute anybody for any offence for more than Rs. 100 Per Offence. For paying fine of more than Rs. 100 - ASI (Assistant Sub Inspector) or higher up officials (SI, Inspector or higher up) are only designated to collect fine per offence.
