As per Cero, owner should be present when they take the vehicle. However it's better to check with them once, if any affidavit or power of attorney sort of process is there for this type of scenario.

Go to https://cerorecycling.com, there is a Get In Touch form bellow the site, you can give your phone, they normally call back promptly.

I have a query:

For two wheelers in Maharashtra what is the age of scooter after which registration renewal has to be done?

I was under impression,it is 25 years.Now after reading above posts I am in doubt.

Here it is

[dipdawiz]

10 days after Cero picked up the vehicle, I got a email from vscrap site that my certificate of destruction is ready to download - to be used for availing benefit on new buy or trade the certificate.

Here is how the certificate is, describing details of scrapping and benefits one may get


Now, I do not have any plan to get any new vehicle (though heart says Yamaha Aerox 155 ), so would like to know anyone has any idea how much I should trade the certificate for?

Thanks,
Dipayan

I have initiated a trade for my certificate of deposit. You have to initiate the process from vscrap.parivahan.gov.in site. Once you initiate trade you cannot utilize it, you would be redirected to digielv.com site (to register in digielv.com you have to first initiate trade on vscrap site else registration will not go though). Here the actual trade happens. You have to register with digielv.com. I was having issue with OTP, hence had to call them to register. Once sorted, you have to add your bank details and you can trade your CD (certificate of deposit). Price is open, you can ask any amount up to 99900. Once you place your CD to sell, you can track your offer



If you want to withdraw from trade and use it for buying new vehicle, you have to cancel the offer. Then in dashboard you have a option to utilize the CD, this will remove your CD from trade and you can use it for other benefits on road tax, ex-showroom price discount etc.

Can you please explain further what this is? I am not sure what is trade of CD and who would buy it.

CD is Certificate of Deposit, which means the vehicle is in scrapyard and waiting to be scrapped. GOI MORTH gives some benefit to a vehicle owner who scraps their vehicle, which includes 4-6% off in ex-showroom price, discount up to 25% of road tax (depends on state) and registration fee waived off. This benefit is given only if you provide CD to the dealer and eventually to RTO for registration. CD is valid for 2 years and can be used only on same category of vehicle (e.g. you can get benefit only on new two wheeler with a two wheeler's CD).

Now anyone can get the benefit who holds the CD either by previous owner of scrapped vehicle or someone obtains it by trade. Trade option is given for the situation, when previous owner (like me) do not have a plan to by a new vehicle within 2 years of time. So anyone planning to buy a new vehicle can buy a CD from such person and avail similar benefit. And the person who scrapped the vehicle get a part of the benefit by selling the CD.

The trade asking price is open to seller. Buyer would give a counter offer, negotiation happens through Digielv portal and if both party agrees, seller sells the CD. Buyer use the CD to avail the benefit.

I approximated 5% off in ex-showroom price and 25% off on road tax of Yamaha Aerox 155 in Bangalore and came up with the amount 15000; was expecting somewhere between 5000 - 10000. But so far I got offers of 500~1000. Not sure I have any misunderstanding, but with that price I am sure I would not trade it. I have decided to hold it for now and may actually utilize it in coming year.

Hope this clarifies some of the things related to vehicle scraping benefits, certificate of deposit, how CD trade works etc.

Thanks for sharing the details.

I have a 2000 model Fiero bought from Kerala which I forgot to renew the registration when it was due in 2015. The vehicle is in Bangalore with me and I do not want to go through the hassle of making it road worthy - taking vehicle to Kerala, convert paper RC to online (which is no possible as per agent as the vehicle is old and the due date for conversion is over) and pay hefty fine over 8 years which would be more than the vehicle's value.

I plan to take the scrap route. It is painful to scrap it it as I had replaced all the parts except engine and painted it long back, the vehicle is in very good condition. But seems that is the logical thing to do considering the paper work hassle and me located in Bangalore.

CD makes it attractive as I could use it while upgrading to a 400cc vehicle sometime next year.

Thank you so much dipdawiz for this very informative post. I have a situation and need expert opinion.

I bought a TVS Victor in Mumbai (MH03) in 2002. It was a lovely bike. We moved to Pune and brought the bike to Pune. Never encountered any issue with RTO etc. In 2016, I was struggling to find replacement suspensions through TVS service centers and many spare parts were not available. That time a service center person asked me "sir, aapko bike bechna hai? mujhe ek bike chahiye" (Sir, would you like to sell your bike? I need one).

That request made me consider helping him (and I could buy a new bike). I warned him about the suspension issue and he said he will get it done as he was working for TVS.

I therefore obtained the NOC for him from Mumbai RTO (at my expense) and sold it to him for peanuts. I gave him all transfer forms signed by me, along with original RC book, PUC, Insurance copies etc. and a fully filled petrol tank as a gesture of goodwill and as best wishes. He appreciated this and promised that he would get it transferred in his name and at his expense. I have the delivery note (printed on an A4 sized paper and signed by him). That was year 2016.

I left it at that (which was a big mistake). I bought another (newly launched) TVS Victor in 2017, yet another lovely bike that I am using at present!

Thanks to Team BHP, I got more educated with time. Recently I just checked the RTO database, and to my disbelief, the old (and sold) bike is still registered in my name!

After some struggle I managed to trace the buyer and he apologetically said that the agent had quoted INR 7000 for the name transfer and he did not have money to spend!

I scolded him and said he could have at least informed me. He apologized and accepted it as his fault, and is ready to cooperate. The bike is still with him, but it is no longer used (too old and irreparable now, important spare parts are no longer available either).

The buyer has bought another bike too and is ready to give the old bike back to me, as he cannot get it officially scrapped (as RTO database still reflects my name).

I asked him to hand over the papers back to me, and to my dismay he has lost the whole set of documents including the original RC book!

There are many lessons I learnt in the process, but primarily I should have ensured the bike is transferred, before handing it over to the buyer.

I was still fortunate but consequences could have been much worse. Look at this horrific thread: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...-accident.html (Sold car to Trident Hyundai | Car not transferred | Involved in fatal accident)

Requesting forum members to advise on the best course of action. The seller (yours truly) and the buyer want to amicably sort this out. What are my options now?

1. Take the bike back from the buyer and keep with me until the matter is fully resolved?
2. Give it for scrapping to any local shop, after removing the registration number plate, and getting the engine + chassis numbers removed/scraped in front of my eyes, and then forget about the whole episode?
3. Submit official scraping request through RTO website? I have read that original RC book is required in this case. Can I file the FIR online, and submit that along with photocopy of the RC book? Would that be accepted for official scraping?

I am heavily inclined towards the last option (to get it officially scrapped through RTO recognized scrapping agency), so that there is enough documentation to serve as an official 'death certificate(!)' about this bike, and so that no issues whatsoever arise later.

I can request a duplicate RC but it would go to my Mumbai address (which is no longer existing).

Even though the buyer has lost all documents, I have meticulously kept a colour scan of each of these. I should have been more meticulous in getting the RTO transfer executed, but that cannot be undone now. Many thanks in advance for your advice.

So it's better to bring the bike back and keep it with you in case something goes wrong again, specially if the other party is fine with it and the bike is still in your name.

In Bangalore, Cero (authorised scrapper) was fine with a GD from police (even filed online) for lost RC and a photocopy of the RC. Check with vendor in Pune and explain same, you can show this thread that other vendor accepting GD+RC xerox - see what happens.

Any other caveats? What about someone using the CD from a scrapped Hero Honda cd100 to buy a superbike, or that of a Maruti 800 to buy a Mercedes?

Nothing mentioned clearly. In the policy it says the amount of discount depents on what rto decides, so it would be different in different states and I expect vehicle class would also be checked - should be same in CD and what user is buying.

Thank you Dipayan. The bike (TVS Victor 2002 model) was picked up for scrapping on Saturday by Cero. The whole experience was amazing and delightful. Everyone in the team was supportive and helpful. Received the quoted scrap value (INR 2,200) in my bank account the same day (received INR 1 the previous day; they seem to do a sample transaction to ensure seamlessness). They accepted the photocopy of the online complaint of the lost RC book, no visit to police station was required as it was all online. Hoping to soon share a detailed write-up with step-by-step process. Thanks again for having started this thread. It is so good to get an official 'death certificate' of our unused (and unusable) vehicles, especially when RTO is getting stricter with respect to the penalties and fines.

This is just want I was searching for. Have a 15 year old Activa which is not in use. Quite a few people like my car cleaner and others have asked me to sell it to them. But somehow I was not convinced that all the formalities will be handled well by them. Scrapping through this process seems the most transparent mechanism. I probably have to get this done soon. Only problem is my Aadhaar has my permanent address but i currently live elsewhere in the same city. If the tow truck will only come to the address mentioned in the Aadhaar proof then it will be tricky because my bike is in no condition to be taken to that place.

I do not think there is any such requirement. The address can be anywhere, it is not verified with your Aadhaar address. You need to be the official owner of the vehicle to be scrapped, and that's all they need to ensure.

In any case, just call their call center number as mentioned on https://cerorecycling.com/. They will arrange for a callback and you will also get a message containing the supervisor details. Talk to the supervisor and you will get all queries answered along with easy step-by-step procedure guidance.

I will hopefully share a detailed write-up soon.
