Two ways to scrap a vehicle — which one fits you?
Both are legitimate. The right choice depends on whether you want cash on the metal or the government's road-tax rebate on a new vehicle.
Regular scrap dealer
Best if you just want cash for the metal.
- Pays you the scrap value of the metal — usually a bit more than a centre would, gram-for-gram.
- Cash or UPI on the spot, no long paperwork.
- Works for any vehicle, any age, any condition.
- No Certificate of Deposit — you don't get the road-tax rebate.
- You're responsible for deregistering the vehicle with your RTO.
Government-authorised scrap centre RVSF
Best if you're buying a new vehicle and want the official tax rebate.
- Issues an official Certificate of Deposit — worth up to ~25% road-tax rebate and a registration-fee waiver on your next vehicle.
- Many manufacturers add a discount (often ~5%) on top.
- The centre handles deregistration with the RTO for you.
- You still get paid the scrap value of the metal — typically a touch lower than a kerbside dealer in exchange for the certificate.
- Best for end-of-life vehicles (15+ years for private, 8–10 for many commercial).
Not sure? If your vehicle is healthy and you're not buying a new one immediately, a regular dealer is usually simpler. If you're upgrading and the vehicle is overage, the Certificate of Deposit is worth thousands — go to a government-authorised centre.
What you'll need when you go
- The vehicle's Registration Certificate (RC).
- Valid ID (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.).
- An NOC from the financer if the vehicle was on a loan.
- The centre handles deregistration with the RTO/VAHAN on your behalf — you don't have to chase the RTO separately.
What you get back
- The scrap value of the metal (typically a small amount less than a kerbside dealer would pay).
- A Certificate of Deposit — present this at any dealer when you buy a new vehicle to claim the road-tax rebate (~25% for private, ~15% commercial, set by the state), waiver of the registration fee, and often a manufacturer discount (~5%).
Want a cash-only sale and don't need the certificate? See your city's car scrap dealers or bike scrap dealers — usually quicker, paid in cash, no RTO paperwork.
