Documents required for RVSF

When a vehicle owner submits a vehicle for scrapping at an RVSF or via the Parivahan Vehicle Scrapping Portal, the following are generally required to validate ownership and enable deregistration:

Essential Ownership & Identity Proof

• Original Registration Certificate (RC) of the vehicle

• Owner’s Identity Proof – e.g., Aadhaar Card, PAN Card

• Address Proof – e.g., Aadhaar/Passport/Utility Bill

 Supporting Documents

• Insurance Document Copy (if available)

• No Objection Certificate (NOC) if the vehicle was under loan/finance

• Self-Declaration / Affidavit (if certain documents are missing — e.g., lost RC)

• Chassis/Engine Verification (vehicle may be physically inspected by RVSF)

 After submission and verification, RVSF issues a Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping via the VAHAN system, which then enables official deregistration by the RTO.

For Businesses — Documents Required to Obtain RVSF Facility Registration

If the goal is to establish and operate a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (i.e., obtain RVSF license/authorization to scrap vehicles professionally), the regulatory documentation is more extensive:

 Corporate & Business Credentials

• Duly Filled RVSF Application Form (e.g., Form-I)

• Business Incorporation Certificate (Company/Partnership/LLP) or Udyam/Shop Act Registration

• PAN Card (Business)

• GST Registration Certificate

 Operational & Environmental Compliance

• Proof of Land Use / Premises Occupancy – Lease/Ownership documents for the facility

• Approved Layout Plan of scrapping yard and operations site

• Consent to Establish (CTE) from State Pollution Control Board

• Consent to Operate (CTO) (or undertaking to obtain within timeframe)

• Undertaking for ISO Certification (e.g., ISO 14001/ISO 45001/ISO 9001 within defined period)

• Technical & Machinery Compliance Proof (equipment details for depollution and dismantling)

 Additional Licences / Environmental Documentation

• Hazardous Waste Management Authorization (if applicable under HWM Rules)

• Pollution NOC or SPCB Approvals

• Safety & Waste Management Plan (including handling of oils, batteries, coolant, etc.)

Supplementary Notes for Strategic Planning

 Owner Side Process

• Once documents are verified and the vehicle is scrapped, a Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping is uploaded to the VAHAN portal, which enables deregistration by RTO and allows the owner to claim benefits (e.g., tax rebates or incentives).

• Missing documents like RC can be substituted with affidavits/FIRs in certain cases under owner self-declaration, but that depends on RVSF discretion and local rules.

 Facility Side Compliance

• RVSF authorization is typically valid for ten years and requires renewal along with compliance review.

• Environmental compliance is critical — SPCB approvals (CTE/CTO) and waste management plans form core submissions in the RVSF application.
