Old car is no longer a pain in the neck, it will become a profitable deal, 5 important things about the new scrap policy of Bihar

News India Live, Digital Desk: Today (8 January 2026) a big news has come for the middle class and transporters of Bihar. If there is a car, truck or motorcycle parked in your courtyard or garage whose age is more than 15 years, then you have a chance to be happy. Bihar government has given green signal to its new ‘Scrap Policy’.

Why was this policy needed?
Believe me, we all are very fond of our first car. But from the point of view of science and environment, 15 year old vehicles die in terms of engine. These work to increase accidents on the roads and poison (pollution) in the air. Till now people used to sell old vehicles at low prices or they were melting in junkyards. But this will not happen now.

What benefit will you get?
The government has said a lot of ‘relief’ things this time.

• Tax exemption: If you ‘scrap’ your old car by taking it to an authorized scrapping centre, you will get a certificate. When you buy a new car by showing this certificate, you will get Road tax and registration fees You will get huge discount.
• Scrap Value: The amount of iron, rubber and parts produced for your vehicle will also be paid to you in cash at the market rate.
• Exemption from challan: You will be freed forever from the complexity of fitness test and the fear of being caught on the streets.

The path will be clear for new vehicles
The objective of this policy in Bihar is to make the roads safe and clean. The government wants to increase the number of new and eco-friendly vehicles (like electric vehicles) on the roads. If your vehicle is commercial, then the relief provided by this policy can be even more, which will give new impetus to the transport business.

Our advice:
Instead of driving an old sour car due to emotions, it is better to ‘retire’ it with respect and take advantage of government discounts and get a modern and safe vehicle. Remember, this change will not only save you money, but will also keep the air clean for our future generations.

Soon the government will release the list of these centers where you can take your car. Till then, get the old documents of your vehicle corrected so that there is no delay in availing the benefits.
