The re-calibration of electronic meters is a process to ensure that the fares are updated to Rs.26 for autos and Rs.31 for taxis. "The last date was May 31," confirmed a transport department official. "Now if any auto rickshaw or taxi comes to the RTO for any work and if its e-meter has not been recalibrated, a fine of Rs.50 per day will be levied." The Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) have been informed about this. In Mumbai, there are RTOs at Tardeo, Andheri, Wadala and Borivali, where autos and taxis are registered. An RTO officer, however, said that since the beginning of June, they had not come across any autos and taxis that had not updated their meters. There are 2.60 lakh auto rickshaws in the western and eastern suburbs and 20,000 taxis registered at the four RTOs.
