People have been asked to wear a helmet if they are on a bike. Four-wheeler drivers have been asked to wear seat belts. Failure to do so results in challan being issued to the car drivers.

This is the rule
As per helmet regulation and law in India, two-wheeler riders are required to wear a helmet. Under Section 129, it is mandatory for any person above four years of age riding a bike or scooter to wear a helmet. This rule applies not only to the driver but also to the person sitting behind. If this is not done then a fine of Rs 5,000 will have to be paid. Or the driving license is canceled for three months. If the traffic police wants, both can be punished.

Challans will not be issued to these people
There is such a department in India. No challan is issued if caught on the road without a helmet. We are talking about people of Sikh community. Yes, turban-wearing Sikhs are allowed to ride bikes without a helmet on Indian roads. No traffic police can stop their movement. Being a Sikh does not allow this. These people have been given exemption only because of wearing turban. People of the Sikh community wear a turban on their head, due to which the helmet does not fit on their head. Moreover, during an accident his turban acts like a helmet and protects the head from serious injuries. Apart from this, if someone has any medical condition due to which he cannot wear a helmet, he can be exempted from currency with proof.
