Vehicle approaching expiry, get it scrapped from registered centre: Chandigarh admin

As per Gopal Krishan, owner of RVSF in Chandigarh, when the vehicle owner approaches their authorised centre, the form for scrapping the vehicle is filled through the Vahan application. An OTP (one time password) will be received on the mobile number of the owner which is linked with the Aadhaar card. The application will be logged in then and the form will be filled further. The value of the vehicle is assessed. The scrap value is assessed by the weight of the car, 90 per cent of the weight and then 10 per cent valuation varies as if the car has some alloy wheels or has a CNG kit. After this process is completed, the payment is made online to the vehicle owner.

Also, in the whole process, a COD (certificate of deposit) is generated to the owner of the vehicle, which confirms that the vehicle has been deposited at the scrapping centre of RVSF. Then the RC status turns from active to scrapping under process.

The vehicle is then scrapped, and the chassis number is updated on Vahan application. The owner of the vehicle gets a message that the vehicle has been scrapped. The COD can be used by the owner of the vehicle at the time of buying another new vehicle.

One must get the vehicle scrapped through the RVSF, so that the vehicle is not misused further, said Gopal Krishan.
