How much is my old car worth as scrap in Salem?

A typical hatchback (≈950 kg) yields about ₹25,000–₹45,000 as scrap in Salem; sedans and SUVs more. Running cars fetch 30–70% more than non-running ones, and the catalytic converter alone has significant value.

What documents are needed to scrap a car?

Registration Certificate (RC), valid ID proof, and an NOC from the financer if the car was on loan. End-of-life vehicles (15+ years for private, 8–10 for some commercial) may need a fitness test. Scrap at an RVSF to get a Certificate of Deposit.

What are the Vehicle Scrappage Policy benefits for cars?

Scrapping at a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) issues a Certificate of Deposit worth up to ~25% road-tax rebate on a new car, plus registration-fee and (often) GST/discount benefits from manufacturers. Tamil Nadu and several other states add their own rebates.
