What Is a Drink & Drive Offence Under Indian Law?

Drink and drive is a criminal offence under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The law was significantly strengthened by the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019.

The permissible Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit in India is 30 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood (0.03%). If your BAC exceeds this limit, you are liable for prosecution regardless of whether you were involved in an accident.

Delhi Traffic Police actively conduct breathalyser checks, especially during late nights and on weekends, across areas like Rajouri Garden, Connaught Place, South Delhi, and major arterial roads.

Penalties Under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act

First Offence: Fine up to Rs. 10,000 and/or imprisonment up to 6 months.

Second or Repeat Offence (within 3 years): Fine up to Rs. 15,000 and/or imprisonment up to 2 years, along with licence suspension or cancellation.

In addition to these penalties, if a drunk driving incident leads to an accident causing injury or death, the case escalates to more serious charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), which replaced the Indian Penal Code from 1 July 2024.

Why You Must Hire a Drink & Drive Lawyer in Delhi Immediately

Many people assume a drink and drive case is a minor traffic matter that can be resolved by just paying a fine. This is a dangerous misconception. Here is why you need a specialised drink & drive lawyer in Delhi from the very first day:

• A drink and drive offence is a criminal offence, not merely a civil traffic violation. It can result in a permanent criminal record if convicted.
• Your driving licence can be suspended or permanently cancelled by the court, affecting your daily life and livelihood.
• A conviction can negatively impact employment background checks, job opportunities, and visa applications for countries like the USA, UK, and Canada.
• Insurance companies may reject accident claims if the vehicle was being driven under the influence of alcohol.
• In cases involving accidents, injury, or death, the charges become far more serious and can attract imprisonment for several years under the BNS.
• An experienced drink & drive advocate in Delhi understands procedural safeguards, evidence challenges, and the legal defences available in such cases, which can make a significant difference in the outcome.
