Pet registration in Noida: The pet owners in Noida have to shell out more money from June if their fur babies are not registered yet. Even though the deadline for registration has crossed in January itself, the Noida Authority had extended it. But from June the owners will not only have to pay the fine but also the arrears. 

The Noida authority has earlier made registration of pets mandatory and warned that any delay beyond January 31, 2023 will attract additional penalties. The annual registration fee per pet has been set at Rs 500, payable in April every year, the authority said as it enforced its new pet policy on Monday. The registrations can be made on the Noida Authority Pet Registration (NAPR) mobile phone app, it said.

The new policy also made sterilisation and anti-rabies vaccination of pets mandatory. Failure to do so will make the pet's owner liable to a fine of Rs 2,000 per month, according to a statement issued by the authority.

It also states that in the event of any pet injuring a person, its owner will have to pay a compensation of Rs 10,000 to the victim besides bearing medical treatment expenses.
