An End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) refers to a vehicle that is no longer roadworthy, safe to drive, or financially viable to repair. It could be an old vehicle that has reached the end of its useful life, a severely damaged vehicle after an accident, or a car that simply doesn't meet modern environmental standards. These vehicles are typically beyond repair, and as such, they need to be responsibly recycled and disposed of.
In many countries, including India, the government has made some regulations for scrapping ELVs to prevent them from polluting the environment. Vehicles contain hazardous substances like oil, fuel, and heavy metals that need to be handled carefully to avoid harming the environment. This makes choosing a trusted and environmentally-conscious scrapping service vital for the well-being of the community and the planet.
A vehicle becomes an End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) under several conditions:
Natural End of Life (Aging Vehicles): Most vehicles have a lifespan of 10-20 years. After this period, their engines and parts wear out, which make them expensive and inefficient to maintain.
Accidents or Damage Beyond Repair: Vehicles that are severely damaged in accidents, where repair costs exceed the vehicle’s value, are often classified as ELVs.
Government Legislation and Environmental Standards: Older vehicles may be deemed unfit for the road if they don’t meet updated emissions or safety regulations.
High Repair Costs: Sometimes, vehicles become ELVs when the cost of repairs is higher than the value of the vehicle itself.

Here are some signs that can help you determine if your vehicle is an End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV):
Frequent Breakdowns: If your vehicle keeps breaking down, even after repairs, it might be time to consider scrapping it.
High Repair Costs: When the cost of fixing your vehicle is higher than its value, it’s often better to scrap it.
Poor Fuel Efficiency: Older vehicles usually consume more fuel than newer ones, which can make them less efficient.
Failure to Meet Emissions Standards: If your vehicle no longer meets the required emissions standards, it could be considered an ELV.
Safety Issues: If key safety parts like brakes, steering, or airbags are worn out and can’t be fixed properly, the vehicle might not be safe to drive.

Vehicle Evaluation: Free doorstep evaluation to assess the condition of your vehicle.
Deregistration: The process is fully compliant with government policies for vehicle deregistration.
Payment & Pick-Up: Enjoy instant payment and free pick-up of your vehicle.
Depollutioning & Dismantling: The entire process is compliant with the Vehicle Scrappage Policy, ensuring environmentally safe disposal.
Scrapping an old vehicle comes with several incentives, making it a beneficial option for owners:
Zero Registration Fee: When purchasing a new vehicle, the registration fee can be waived off, reducing overall costs.
Scrap Value: Vehicle owners can receive a scrap value that is equivalent to 4-6% of the ex-showroom price of their new vehicle.
Road Tax Rebate: States may offer up to 25% rebate on road tax for personal vehicles and 15% for commercial vehicles, lowering ownership costs.
To qualify for these incentives, the seller must have a certificate of deposit and a scrappage certificate, which can only be provided by licensed Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSF).
In the coming years, all vehicles that are 15 years old will be required to undergo a mandatory fitness test. If a vehicle fails this test, the owner will have a limited period to produce a fitness certificate. However, if the owner is unable to provide the certificate within the given time, the vehicle will be classified as an End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) and must be deregistered.
The deregistration process will be carried out on the Vahan Portal with the assistance of a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF). This ensures that unfit vehicles are officially removed from the system in compliance with government regulations.
When selling your vehicle for scrapping, you will need to provide the following documents:
Original Registration Certificate: The vehicle's official registration document.
PAN Card: A copy of the registered owner's PAN card.
KYC of Registered Owner: Aadhar card, Passport, or Voter ID of the registered owner for identity verification.
Address Proof: A document confirming the registered owner's current address.
Vehicle Ownership Proof: Proof of ownership of the vehicle, such as the original invoice or a sale agreement.
Cancelled Cheque or Bank Details: A cancelled cheque or bank details with IMPS facility for payment transfer.
Loan Closure Certificate or NOC: If the vehicle has a loan, a loan closure certificate or No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the bank or financial institution is required.
You can scrap your vehicle from any state or city in India. With the single portal on Vahan for deregistration, vehicles can be scrapped anywhere in the country. Simply visit a Re.Wi.Re facility near you to complete the scrapping process, regardless of where the vehicle was originally registered.
