That is, if the bike rider is wearing a helmet, but it is open, then a fine of Rs 1,000 will be imposed on it. If you are wearing a helmet but have not tied it tightly to the headband, then also a fine of Rs 1,000 will be imposed on you. Overall, the helmet will now have to be worn completely properly. If this is not done then you will be fined Rs 2000.
