Assam Cabinet Gives Nod To Vehicle Scrappage Policy

Guwahati: The Assam Government on Tuesday gave a nod to the Vehicle Scrappage Policy of Assam, 2022; which will ensure proper dismantling and scrapping of operations of End of Life Vehicles.

The decision was taken during a cabinet meeting chaired by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

The decision was taken to ensure the effective implementation of the Registration & Functions of Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF), Policy to reduce vehicular pollution and phase out unfit & polluting vehicles, thereby promoting the recycling of vehicle scrap in an eco-friendly manner.

The state govt also decided to launch a one-time settlement scheme for a specified time period so that owners are given tax waivers up to 75% against their outstanding/arrear dues (if any) on the voluntary offer of their vehicles to RVSF.

Under this policy, all old and damaged vehicles will have scrapping and recycling facilities.

Over 15-year-old government vehicles, old vehicles without fitness certificates, damaged vehicles, etc., will be scrapped.

People can also scrap their old vehicles voluntarily and the scrap facility centres will issue certificates to ensure the owners get concessions while buying new vehicles.
