Under section 183(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, an employer who causes a person employed by him…

Section 183(1) now covers not only a person who drives in contravention of the speed limits under s.112 but also one who causes a person employed by him, or someone under his control, to drive so (the separate employer offence in former s.183(2), whose fine for a subsequent offence could not exceed ₹500, was omitted). For a light motor vehicle the fine is not less than ₹1,000 and may extend to ₹2,000.

₹2,000 to ₹4,000 is the fine for a medium or heavy goods or passenger vehicle, and for a second or subsequent offence the driving licence is impounded under s.206(4). Section 183(1) provides no imprisonment.
