The Delhi government has announced a ban on bike taxis with immediate effect.
The decision will affect cab aggregators such as Ola, Uber, and Rapido, which are popular in the city.
The government notice indicates that using personal vehicles as commercial taxis violates Motor Vehicle Act, 1988.
The government notice points out that if service providers like Ola, Uber, and Rapido riders continue to provide bike taxi service in Delhi, then a fine of Rs 5,000 will be charged.
If the offence is committed the second time or subsequently, then a fine of Rs 10,000 will be charged as well as imprisonment.
