Sharjah traffic fine discount explained

In an effort to encourage prompt payments and reduce the financial burden on residents, Sharjah authorities now offer two tiers of discounts on traffic fines:

35 per cent discount if the fine is paid within 60 days of the violation.
25 per cent discount if paid within one year, but after the 60-day window.

The 35 per cent discount also applies to:

Vehicle impoundment duration
Impoundment fees
Late payment penalties

These discounts do not apply to violations categorised as serious offences.

This initiative was announced following a decision by the Sharjah Executive Council during its weekly meeting chaired by Sheikh Abdullah bin Salem Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Deputy Chairman of the Council.
