Govt Hikes RC Renewal Fee For 15-Yr-Old Vehicles To Curb Pollution
The Union Road and Transport Ministry has released a notification announcing the registration renewals of vehicles older than 15 years will become expensive, starting October 1, 2021. Covering all private and commercial vehicles, the government through this move aims to stop plying of older vehicles on roads in order to tackle air-pollution. While the hike in the renewal fee ranges from Rs 1,000-12,500, the rule also provisions for additional fee in case of any delay.
