If your car, bike or commercial vehicle has crossed its useful life — or failed its fitness test — scrapping it at a government-approved Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) is the smart, legal choice. You not only get a fair value for the scrap, you also unlock real savings on your next vehicle through the Government of India's Vehicle Scrappage Policy.
This guide walks you through the whole process — the exact steps, the documents you need, and how to claim your road-tax rebate — the way we do it every day at S K Enterprises in Bihar.
Why scrap your old vehicle at an RVSF?
Under the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy, older and unfit vehicles are meant to be retired through authorized facilities. Scrapping at a registered RVSF gives you:
- A valid Certificate of Deposit (CoD) — proof your vehicle was scrapped legally.
- Road-tax rebate on your new vehicle (as notified by your state).
- A discount from the vehicle manufacturer (typically around 5%) when you buy a new vehicle against the certificate.
- Waiver of registration fee for the new vehicle.
- Freedom from an unfit vehicle — no more fitness, insurance or green-tax worries on a car you no longer use.
The benefits at a glance
| Benefit | Personal / Non-transport | Commercial / Transport |
|---|---|---|
| Road-tax rebate (state-notified) | Up to 25% | Up to 15% |
| Manufacturer discount on new vehicle | ~5% | ~5% |
| New-vehicle registration fee | Waived | Waived |
| Scrap value paid to you | Yes | Yes |
Exact rebate percentages and validity are notified by each state government and can change over time, so always confirm the current benefit for Bihar at the time you buy your new vehicle.

Once the vehicle is handed over, a Certificate of Deposit (CoD) is issued. This is your official proof that the vehicle has entered the scrapping process at a registered facility.
Step 4 — Vehicle is scrapped & you get the Scrapping Certificate
The vehicle is dismantled and recycled through safe, pollution-compliant methods, and you receive the official Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping.
Step 5 — Cancel the RC & claim your benefits
Use the scrapping certificate to cancel your old vehicle's registration and to claim the road-tax rebate and other benefits when purchasing your new vehicle.
