Issuance of Scrappage Certificate & Certificate of Deposit in India

In India, the Vehicle Scrappage Policy aims to phase out old, unfit vehicles to reduce pollution and enhance road safety. A crucial part of this process involves obtaining two key documents:

 

📄 Scrappage Certificate

This official document confirms that your vehicle has been responsibly dismantled at a government-authorized Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF). It serves as proof of legal disposal and is essential for deregistering the vehicle from the VAHAN database.

 

📄 Certificate of Deposit (CoD)

Upon scrapping your vehicle, you receive a CoD, which entitles you to various incentives when purchasing a new vehicle. Benefits include:

            •          Up to 25% rebate on road tax for private vehicles.

            •          Waiver of registration fees for the new vehicle.

            •          Manufacturer discounts of around 5% on the purchase price.

 

These incentives are designed to encourage the adoption of newer, more environmentally friendly vehicles.

 

📝 How to Obtain These Certificates

            1.         Select an Authorized RVSF: Ensure the facility is recognized by the government.

            2.         Submit Required Documents: Typically includes the vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC), owner identification, and a consent form.

            3.         Vehicle Inspection: The RVSF will inspect and verify the vehicle details.

            4.         Issuance of Certificates: After successful scrapping, the facility will provide both the Scrappage Certificate and the CoD.
