Vehicle Scrapping in Bihar — Cars, Bikes & Commercial Vehicles
Bihar follows India's national Vehicle Scrappage Policy, which means vehicle owners across the state — whether in Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, or any other district — can scrap cars, bikes, SUVs, and commercial vehicles at any government-authorized Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF). This page walks you through the scrapping process as it works in Bihar, how to estimate your vehicle's scrap value, and introduces you to the state's most trusted RVSF so you can get started with confidence.

Scrapping a Car in Patna or Anywhere in Bihar
Scrapping a car in Bihar follows the same standardised process used across India. Whether you are in Patna, Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, or a smaller town, the workflow at any authorized RVSF is the same seven-step process:
-
1
Submit Form 2 for Vehicle Scrapping
Visit the RVSF of your choice and submit Form 2 (Application for Scrapping of Vehicle) along with your RC, insurance documents, and a government-issued photo ID. The facility verifies your paperwork on the spot.
-
2
RVSF Inspection & Verification
The RVSF conducts a physical inspection of your car, verifies the chassis and engine numbers against VAHAN records, and confirms the vehicle is eligible for scrapping.
-
3
Deliver Your Vehicle
Bring your car and the required documents to the RVSF's yard. For a complete list, see our documents required page.
-
4
Receive Certificate of Deposit (COD)
Once the RVSF accepts your vehicle, they issue a Certificate of Deposit (COD). This certificate represents the scrap value of your car and is valid for 3 years from the date of issue.
-
5
Bank Transfer of Scrap Value
The scrap value is transferred directly to your bank account — not paid in cash. The amount is based on your car's weight at the prevailing rate of ₹22–25 per kilogram. A typical hatchback weighs around 850–1,050 kg, which translates to roughly ₹18,700–₹26,250. Use our scrap value calculator to estimate your specific vehicle.
-
6
Vehicle Dismantled & Chassis/Engine Cutout Photos Uploaded
The RVSF dismantles your car and uploads photographs of the chassis cutout and engine cutout as proof of scrapping to the central portal.
-
7
Receive Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS)
After dismantling is complete and photos are uploaded, the RVSF generates the Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS), typically within 7–10 days. The CVS is the final confirmation that your vehicle has been officially scrapped and removed from the VAHAN database.
Bihar-Specific Road Tax Rebate on New Vehicles
One of the key financial benefits of scrapping your old vehicle in Bihar and purchasing a new one is the road tax rebate offered by the state government. When you present your Certificate of Deposit (COD) at the time of registering a new vehicle in Bihar, you are eligible for a flat concession on the motor vehicle (road) tax. The rebate amount depends on the emission standard of the vehicle you scrapped:
- BS-I (Bharat Stage I) vehicle scrapped: You receive a 50% flat road tax rebate on the new vehicle's road tax.
- BS-II or higher (Bharat Stage II, III, IV, etc.) vehicle scrapped: You receive a 25% flat road tax rebate on the new vehicle's road tax.
Which vehicles qualify? Bihar's road tax rebate applies only to vehicles that were themselves registered in Bihar — that is, vehicles carrying a "BR" series registration number. The eligibility is tied to the scrapped vehicle's own registration, not to the location of the RVSF that physically processes the scrapping.
A BR-series vehicle generates a Bihar-linked Certificate of Deposit (COD) even if it is scrapped at an RVSF anywhere in India, and that COD remains eligible for Bihar's rebate when you use it to register a new vehicle in Bihar. Conversely, a vehicle registered in another state (for example HR, CH, WB, or JH series) does not qualify for Bihar's rebate scheme even if you choose to scrap it at a Bihar-based RVSF such as Sri Neelayum — the COD generated is tied to the vehicle's actual registration state, not to where it was physically scrapped, so Bihar's rebate rates would not apply. Owners of such vehicles should check their own state's rebate policy instead.
For example, if you are buying a new car in Patna whose road tax liability is ₹40,000 and your old scrapped vehicle was a BR-series BS-I compliant car, your new road tax would be reduced to ₹20,000. If the old BR-series vehicle was BS-II or above, it would be reduced to ₹30,000. The rebate applies only when purchasing and registering a new vehicle in Bihar, and you must present the valid COD certificate at the time of registration.
Voluntary Scrapping — No Age Restriction in Bihar
A common misconception is that you must wait until your vehicle reaches 15 years (for commercial vehicles) or 20 years (for private vehicles) before it can be scrapped. In Bihar, this is not the case. Vehicle owners can voluntarily scrap any vehicle at any time, regardless of its age or fitness status. There is no requirement to wait for a mandatory fitness test failure or for the vehicle to cross the 15/20-year threshold.
If your vehicle is still running but you no longer need it, or if you want to upgrade to a newer, safer, more fuel-efficient model and take advantage of the road tax rebate described above, you are free to scrap it at any government-authorized RVSF in Bihar and receive the COD and CVS documents. The voluntary scrapping option is available purely at the owner's discretion.
Scrapping a Bike in Bihar
Two-wheelers — motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds — can be scrapped at any authorized RVSF in Bihar using the same seven-step process described above. Since two-wheelers weigh considerably less than cars (typically 110–150 kg), the scrap value is proportionally smaller — usually in the range of ₹2,400 to ₹3,750 — but the process, paperwork, and timeline are identical. You will receive the same COD certificate (valid 3 years), the same bank transfer, and the same CVS after dismantling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bihar follows India's national Vehicle Scrappage Policy announced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. There is no separate state-level scrapping policy. The same rules — fitness testing, voluntary scrapping after 15 years for commercial vehicles and 20 years for private vehicles, and the benefit structure for new vehicle purchases — apply uniformly across Bihar and every other state in India.

Scrap value is not fixed by the government — it is determined by each RVSF based on current scrap metal market conditions. The rate typically falls in the range of ₹22 to ₹25 per kilogram across India, including Bihar. However, the exact amount can vary slightly between facilities depending on their overhead costs, location, and the type of scrap metal your vehicle yields. It is a good idea to compare offers from multiple RVSFs before deciding.
In Bihar, when you scrap an old vehicle and present the Certificate of Deposit (COD) at the time of registering a new vehicle, you are eligible for a flat road tax concession: a 50% rebate if the scrapped vehicle was BS-I (Bharat Stage I) compliant, or a 25% rebate if it was BS-II or above. Importantly, eligibility depends on the scrapped vehicle's own registration — it must carry a Bihar "BR" series number — not on which RVSF processes the scrapping. A BR-series vehicle remains eligible even if scrapped at an RVSF outside Bihar, while a vehicle registered in another state does not qualify for Bihar's rebate even if scrapped at a Bihar-based RVSF. The COD certificate must be valid (within 3 years of issue) and the new vehicle must be registered in Bihar to claim this benefit.
No. In Bihar, vehicle owners can voluntarily scrap any vehicle at any time — there is no requirement to wait until the vehicle reaches 15 years (commercial vehicles) or 20 years (private vehicles), or to fail a fitness test. Voluntary scrapping is permitted at any age, purely at the owner's discretion. This means you can scrap a 5-year-old car or bike if you wish, receive the COD, and use it to claim the road tax rebate on a new vehicle purchase.
