Do you know:

According to a representative of the Social Welfare department of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, laws related to begging are a State subject and not a Central one. Thus, there is no Central Act ‘regulating’ beggary. In Delhi, the Bombay Prevention of Begging Act (BPBA) is already in force. According to this law, begging, vending on roads, cleaning vehicles at traffic junctions, singing in buses and displaying disability for alms are all unlawful. If penalised under this law, one is sent to a special beggar court and bailed out only after paying Rs 500 – 1000.

Something More to add:

Delhi traffic police thus introduced an ordinance announcing that motorists and commuters doling out alms to beggars or buying goods from vendors at traffic intersections would be fined. According to the ordinance, "no motorist shall encourage or indulge in any activity detrimental to traffic flow or safety of road users - specifically at signalised traffic road junctions and up to a distance of 100 meters on each approaching arm from the centre of the junction”. Violation of this direction is attracted by Rule 22(a) of

of the Road Regulations, 1989 (framed under section 118 of the central Motor Vehicles Act - 1988) punishable under sec.177 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 entailing a fine of Rs. 100 for first offence and Rs. 300 for second or subsequent offences. This ordinance is in force since 6 September 2002 (see the official web-site http://www.delhitrafficpolice.nic.in/art19.htm ).
