The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued a list of incentives and disincentives with regards to the Vehicle Scrapping Policy. The measures are aimed at encouraging vehicle owners to discard their old polluting vehicles that have higher maintenance and consumption costs.
“As an incentive, there will be waiver of the fee for issue of a certificate of registration for a new vehicle, purchased against the authority of the Certificate of Deposit (CoD) issued by a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility for a vehicle being scrapped," read the press statement by the ministry.
The disincentives include: 1). Increase in the fee for conducting fitness test and renewal of fitness certificate for motor vehicles more than 15 years old. 2). Increase in the fitness certification fee for transport vehicles more than 15 years old. 3). Increase in the renewal of registration fee for personal vehicles (non-transport vehicles) more than 15 years old.
