Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the Vehicle Scrappage Policy in India?
The Vehicle Scrappage Policy is a government initiative aimed at removing old, unfit vehicles from Indian roads. As of 2025, private cars over 15 years old and commercial vehicles older than 10 years must be scrapped. When you scrap your old car through an authorized car scrap dealer, you get benefits like road tax rebates, discounts on new vehicles, and a Certificate of Deposit (CoD).
Q. Are 15-year-old cars banned in India?
Yes. In Delhi-NCR, diesel cars older than 10 years and petrol cars older than 15 years are automatically deregistered. In other states, older vehicles must pass a fitness test. If they fail, they must be scrapped under the vehicle scrapping policy.
Q. How much will I get for scrapping my old vehicle?
The scrap value of a car depends on its make, model, age, condition, weight, and current scrap car price per kg. On average, you can expect to receive 4–6% of your car’s original value. Use Spinny’s car scrap value calculator to get an instant estimate.
Q. How to check my car’s scrap value online?
Just visit the Spinny Scrap Car page, enter your car’s registration number, model, brand, and RTO, and you’ll get an instant scrap car quote; no calls, no waiting.
Q. How is the final car scrap price calculated?
Your car scrap price is calculated based on:
The vehicle’s metal weight (steel/aluminium)
Part reusability (engine, battery, etc.)
The scrap rate per kg in your area
Market demand for used parts
Typically, scrap value ranges from 5–10% of the car’s original price.
Q. Do you pick up non-running or damaged cars?
Yes. Spinny offers free vehicle pickup for all types of cars, including non-running, accidental, or RC-expired vehicles. We handle the logistics and towing at no extra charge.
Q. How can I scrap my car online with Spinny?
You can scrap your car online by entering your vehicle details on Spinny, receiving an instant scrap quote, scheduling pickup, and completing documentation.
Q. What documents are required to scrap my car?
To scrap your car legally, you’ll need:
Original Registration Certificate (RC)
Valid PUC certificate
Owner ID proof (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.)
Address proof (if required)
Insurance copy (if available)
Our team will guide you if anything is missing.
Q. Do I need to cancel the RC before scrapping my car?
No. Once your vehicle is scrapped at a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF), you receive a Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS) which is submitted for RC deregistration via the Vahan portal.
Q. What happens after my car is scrapped?
After scrapping, you'll get:
A Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS)
A Certificate of Deposit (CoD)
These can be used to get road tax rebates, discounts on new vehicles, and serve as proof of legal disposal.
Q. What is a Certificate of Deposit (CoD)?
A CoD is issued by an authorised scrap dealer after successful scrapping. It's required to:
Claim up to 25% road tax rebate
Get new vehicle registration discounts
Prove your car has been permanently deregistered
Only RVSF-certified facilities can issue this.
Q. Can I scrap a vehicle from another city or state?
Yes. Thanks to the central Vahan deregistration portal, you can now scrap your vehicle anywhere in India, regardless of where it’s registered. Spinny enables pan-India car scrapping with doorstep pickup.
Q. How long does the car scrapping process take?
With Spinny, the process usually takes 1 to 3 working days, from the time you get your scrap car quote to vehicle pickup and certificate issuance. We keep you informed at every step.
Q. Why should I choose an authorised scrap dealer or RVSF?
Only government-authorised RVSFs like Spinny’s partners can legally issue CoD and CVS. This protects you from future legal liabilities, ensures proper RC deregistration, and qualifies you for all scrap certificate benefits.
Q. What is the scrap value of a 20-year-old car?

Q. How long does the scrapping process take?
The process typically takes a few days from pickup to issuance of Certificate of Destruction.
