What is a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility?
Under MoRTH's Vehicle Scrappage Policy, a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) is an authorized industrial unit licensed to systematically dismantle end-of-life vehicles while ensuring environmental compliance, material traceability, and regulatory documentation.
Informal Scrapping Is Not Viable For:
Export-linked recycling operations, industrial-scale processing, insurance/fleet company tie-ups, and government incentive programs
RVSF License Provides:
Complete traceability, regulatory compliance, Certificate of Deposit issuance authority, and access to government scrappage incentives
Non-Compliance Risks
Significant fines under Motor Vehicles Act & environmental regulations
Vehicle stocks & equipment liable to confiscation
Revocation of industrial approvals & business licenses

Frequently Asked Questions
Business-oriented answers for Gujarat enterprises
Yes. Any facility handling vehicle dismantling—whether for domestic use or export—requires RVSF authorization. Port-linked operations processing vehicles or vehicle components must obtain proper licensing to ensure legal compliance and export documentation validity.
Yes, but you'll need separate RVSF authorization. Existing metal recycling licenses don't cover vehicle scrapping. However, having established infrastructure and environmental clearances can expedite the approval process. Leegal can assess your current setup and guide the expansion pathway.
RVSF authorization is typically valid for 10 years, subject to compliance with operational standards. However, associated clearances like CTO from GPCB require annual renewal. Leegal provides ongoing compliance management to ensure uninterrupted operations.
Yes. Regular inspections by Transport Department and GPCB officials verify continued compliance. Additionally, digital reporting through VAHAN integration requires real-time documentation of vehicles processed. Non-compliance can trigger penalties or license suspension.
Penalties vary based on severity—from financial fines under Motor Vehicles Act and environmental laws to temporary suspension or permanent cancellation of RVSF authorization. Severe violations involving hazardous waste mishandling can attract prosecution under environmental statutes.
