Bank Remittance Proof
A cancelled cheque or passbook copy matching the RC owner's name for direct digital transfer of scrap proceeds.

CHASSIS DESTRUCTION & VAHAN DE-REGISTRATION
Understanding the legal lifecycle of your registration certificate after decommissioning.
When an End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) is processed, it is permanently depolluted and dismantled so it can never re-enter the active fleet. Under Section 55 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the vehicle owner is legally obliged to notify the respective registering authority to record the vehicle's permanent scrapping.
HSV Auto Recycling coordinates the excision and photographic preservation of the chassis stamping, providing owners with certified dismantling records for filing the RC cancellation on Parivahan VAHAN.
- Eliminates future road tax and penalty liabilities.
- Protects the owner from police inquiries if parts or numbers are misused elsewhere.
- Official closure in the national vehicle registry (VAHAN).
