In case there is no uniform, the policeman may be asked for his identity card.

The head constable of the traffic police can deduct a fine of only Rs 100 from you. Only traffic officers i.e. ASI or SI can impose fines higher than this. That means they can issue challan of more than Rs 100. If a traffic constable takes out the keys of your car, make a video of that incident. You can go to the police station of that area and show this video to a senior officer and complain about it.

You should carry the original copy of your driving license and pollution control certificate with you while driving. Photocopies of vehicle registration and insurance may also be useful. If you don't have the money on the spot, you can pay the fine later. In such a situation, the court issues a challan, which will also have to be paid in the court itself. During this time the traffic officer can keep your driving license with him.
