Old Vehicle Scrap Policy: If your old car is parked in the parking lot for a long time, then you do not need to worry, your car cannot be confiscated. Because you can keep your car in personal parking for any number of years. Now some guidelines have been issued by Delhi Transport Corporation in this regard, which tell you when your car can be confiscated and when it will be sent to the scrap heap.
What are the rules?
In fact, you cannot drive a petrol car more than 15 years old and a diesel car more than 10 years old on the roads, for doing so a heavy fine is imposed and the car is also confiscated. However, now such people are being given a chance in Delhi. That means, if your car is found in a public place or you are found driving it, you will have to pay a fine, but then your car will not be confiscated.
The car will not be confiscated the first time.
Even if the car is seized for the first time, the owner can get it released with certain conditions. For this you will also have to give an affidavit. That means you will be given a chance. However, if the car is seen on the road again after this, it will be confiscated. There is also a provision of fine of Rs 10,000 and confiscation on such vehicles coming from other states.
You can park your car in private parking
Earlier, scrap enforcement teams used to pick up the old vehicles, after which people had to make rounds from the police to the court. Many times the car even went into scrap. In view of this problem, it has now been made clear that a car parked in a private parking cannot be confiscated. In such a situation, those people who are very fond of it can keep their car with them for years. However, it cannot be taken on the road. Different states have different rules regarding fitness and scrapping of vehicles.
