Sharjah: Motorists in Sharjah can now receive a 35 percent discount on traffic fines if payments are made within 60 days of the violation.
The Sharjah Executive Council on Tuesday approved a decision introducing the new discount scheme during its weekly meeting chaired by Sheikh Abdullah bin Salem Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Deputy Chairman of the council. The decision aims to encourage timely payment and ease the financial burden on residents.
In cases where motorists pay their fines within two months, they will receive a 35 per cent reduction. The 35 percent discount applies not only to the fine itself but also to vehicle impoundment duration, impoundment fees, and any late payment penalties.
Those who settle their fines within one year but after the initial 60 days will still benefit from a 25 per cent discount. The discount covers most types of traffic violations, except offenses categorized as “serious”.
