According to the report of the Times of India, the notification of the ministry states that Rs 5000 will have to be spent from April next year for re-registration of a 15-year-old car.

Similarly, for registration and renewal of old bikes, Rs 1000 will have to be spent from April next year as against Rs 300 till now. Similarly, in the case of buses and trucks, Rs 12500 will have to be spent for the fitness renewal certificate. Now it costs 1500 rupees for this. The delay in renewal of registration of private vehicles will attract Rs 300 per month. In case of commercial vehicles, Rs 500 will have to be paid every month. Delay in the fitness certificate of commercial vehicles will attract a fine of Rs 50 per day.The purpose of increasing the fees is to keep people away from driving old vehicles. In case of private vehicles that are 15 years old, it will be mandatory for the owner to renew the registration every 5 years. Similarly, renewal of fitness certificate is mandatory every year after completion of 8 years in case of commercial vehicles. Fees for manual and automatic fitness test of vehicles have also been prescribed in the notification. The government aims to do away with the manual system of fitness checks, which are prone to manipulation or rigging.

Due to old vehicles, old technology, the risk of road accident is very high, which will get rid of it.Fourth, it will reduce the effect that pollution has on our health.Under the scrap policy, commercial vehicles will be scrapped after 15 years and private vehicles after 20 years. However, only the year is not meant. Vehicles will be scrapped even if they are repeatedly unfit in the fitness test.
