Hi Folks,
I am facing an issue with updating fuel norm in Vahan database for my Verna 1.6 CRDi manufactured in Oct 2015 and purchased in Jan 2016. My car is BS4 but Vahan database does not have any details mentioned about fuel norms. Due to this i am getting PUC of just 6 months instead of 1 year for BS4.
I reached out to RTO and all they are asking is document from Dealer/Hyundai where its mentioned as this vehicle is BS4. Here comes the bummer now, neither my cars invoice mentions that car is BS4 nor my dealer is helping out with any document which mention car as BS4. All they giving same invoice copy which i already have which doesn't mention fuel norm.
From my sources i came to know that there is a form 22A which provided by manufacturer to dealer that requires at the time of registration which has the fuel norms mentioned. But in my case dealer dont have any copy of this form 22 as this was submitted in original to RTO by dealer's agent for registration.
It's been 6 months I am chasing dealer but they are of no help. Can you please suggest what can be done to get details updated in Vahan database?
Here's what BHPian wheelspinner had to say on the matter:
In this case, you have to file a complaint with the consumer forum I believe. Seems like a case of dealership negligence, as they should archive a (digital) copy of that document regardless of submission to RTO or some proof/receipt of submission.

I too am in a similar boat, My 2006 Swift is mentioned as Bharat Stage II in the Vahan website where in reality it is Bharat Stage III. Swift was launched in the Bharat Stage III avatar from day 1 of Launch. The same is for my Mom's Activa September 2005 as well. Although my PUC validity duration still remains 6 months, I hope to correct this error in their Database.

Add me to the boat. My 2011 Chevy Beat is mentioned as Bharat Stage III in the Vahan database while in reality it is Bharat Stage IV. My PUC validity remains only 3 months in NCR and I have to keep close watch on due date to avoid any challans. Not sure how to get it corrected, moreso as the company has left India for good.
I couldn't catch this earlier as it was never mentioned on either of the RCs (vehicle was transferred from one state to another). It started popping only in last few years during PUC checks.

I plan on to send an Email to MSIL and HMSI asking for a statement declaring my vehicle is Bharat Stage III and use that as a proof in the RTO for correction. I have also seen few RC's that mention the Bharat Stage right after the Model name. Eg- Model: Grand I10 BS4
Will share updates if I'm able to make the changes
