Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the Vehicle Scrappage Policy in India in 2025?
The Vehicle Scrappage Policy is a scheme introduced by the government to reduce pollution by scrapping cars that are more than 15 years old. Recently the scrappage policy got an upgrade stating that personal cars older than 15 years and commercial cars older than 10 years have to be scrapped. For this, the government will offer tax rebates and discounts on new cars if anybody gets their car scrapped.
Q. How to check my car’s scrap value online?
Visit the Spinny Scrap Car page and enter your car’s registration, brand, model, and RTO details. You’ll get an instant scrap car value quote online in seconds — no calls or delays.
Q. How is the scrap value of a car calculated?
Car scrap price is based on:
Vehicle’s metal weight (steel/aluminum)
Engine and part reusability
Scrap metal market rates
Demand for spare parts
Typically, scrap value is 5–10% of the car’s original cost.
Q. How old should a car be to scrap it?
You should scrap:
Private cars older than 20 years
Commercial vehicles over 15 years
Vehicles with failed fitness test or expired RC
In Delhi NCR, diesel cars above 10 years and petrol cars above 15 years are automatically deregistered.
Q. What is the best time to scrap a car?
The ideal time is right after RC expiry or a failed fitness test. Scrapping early saves you RTO penalties and gives you scrap certificate benefits for your next car.
Q. Do I need to cancel my RC before scrapping my car?
No, you don’t need to cancel the RC manually. Once your car is scrapped through a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF), you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction which is used for RC deregistration at the RTO.
Q. What documents are needed to scrap a car?
You’ll need the following:
Original Registration Certificate (RC)
Valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate
Insurance papers (if available)
Owner ID proof (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.)
Q. What should I do after scrapping my car?
Ensure you receive a Certificate of Destruction from the scrapping facility. You can use it to claim road tax rebates or discounts on your new vehicle.
Q. What’s the difference between resale and scrapping a car?
Resale means selling your car for continued use. Scrapping is for unfit or expired vehicles, where the car is dismantled and recycled. If your car is not roadworthy, scrapping is the legal and safer route.
Q. Are there any government incentives for scrapping a car?
Yes. When you scrap your car through an RVSF, you get a Scrappage Certificate, which can fetch:
Up to 25% rebate on road tax
Discount on new vehicle registration
Additional incentives from manufacturers
Q. How long does the car scrapping process take?
Spinny’s car scrapping process usually takes 1–3 days, depending on document verification and pickup scheduling. You’ll be notified at every step, from quote to Certificate of Destruction.
Q. Where can I scrap my car near me?
