How much can I get for scrapping an old car in India?

A hatchback (≈950 kg) yields about ₹25,000–₹45,000 as scrap; sedans and SUVs more. Running cars fetch 30–70% more than non-running ones, and the catalytic converter alone is worth a few thousand rupees.

What documents do I need to scrap my car?

Registration Certificate (RC), valid ID proof, and an NOC from the financer if applicable. End-of-life vehicles may need a fitness test. Scrap at a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) to get a Certificate of Deposit.

What are the Vehicle Scrappage Policy benefits?

An RVSF Certificate of Deposit gives up to ~25% road-tax rebate on a new vehicle, registration-fee waivers, and often a manufacturer discount. Several states add their own incentives.
