A Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) is authorised by the state government under the Motor Vehicles (Registration and Functions of Vehicle Scrapping Facility) Rules, 2021 to dismantle end-of-life vehicles and issue Certificates of Deposit and Vehicle Scrapping Certificates. Applicants need an eligible entity, suitable land and equipment, environmental consents and state registration through the online portal.

Frequently asked questions

How long is RVSF registration valid?

Registration is granted for a period specified in the rules and can be renewed, subject to continued compliance.

Can an RVSF operate in multiple states?

Each facility is registered by the state where it is located. Operators with facilities in multiple states need separate registrations.

What is a Certificate of Deposit?

It is issued by the RVSF to the vehicle owner on depositing the vehicle for scrapping, and can be used to claim concessions on registration or road tax for a new vehicle.

Is EPR relevant for RVSF?

Yes. Scrapping facilities handle materials covered by waste rules, and EPR frameworks for vehicles and batteries interact with their operations.
