Transporting sand, stone, or minor minerals in Maharashtra? Under the 2026 enforcement of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code (MLRC), a "Red Status" on the Mahakhanij portal is now a direct ticket to heavy fines.
Legal Alert: Section 48(8) Compliance
Vehicle owners must ensure their GPS is whitelisted on Vahan and synced with Shorya Technosoft. Failure to do so leads to immediate vehicle impounding.
Section 48 MLRC Penalty Summary (2026)
| Violation | Penalty / Action |
|---|---|
| GPS not linked to Mahakhanij | E-Transit Pass (E-TP) blocked |
| GPS offline / Red status | Up to 3× mineral market value fine |
| Tampering / Repeat offense | Vehicle seizure & lease suspension |
Why Mahakhanij GPS is Compulsory
To avoid the dreaded E-Transit Pass GPS problem, every mining vehicle must carry an ARAI-certified device. Without this, your vehicle will show as "Offline" to the Revenue Department, triggering an inspection.
