If the very act of breathing fresh air becomes tough, people must discard everything that pollutes. Life is far more important. Delhi must embrace electric cars with a vengeance. But that takes political will. I'm stumped that things have come to this

I will rather get them registered at Punjab, where my Factory is located.

As I have mentioned before, just like the odd-even rule, the judgement says that NO car older than 10 years (diesel) and 15 years (petrol) will be allowed to ply on Delhi roads. This includes all cars regardless of their state of registration. So it would not matter even if you get your car registered outside. Only solace currently is that the cops are not enforcing it. Also the sheer number of vehicles combined with great difficulty in identifying a cars age means that they will need a lot of man power to be able to do this.

Dear BHPians, i want to get a NOC for my 2011 Swift Vdi in Delhi, however the chasis number is rusted and not readable. Can anyone help me how to get a NOC from transport department. Thanks.

Hi. A friend of mine has a 16 year old Pajero which is moded for off road use in Gurgaon. He uses it occasionally for short drives as well. Can he drive it in Delhi NCR occasionally or will he run in trouble with the law.What are his options in this case? Your advise would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The rule is not being enforced at all. The cops do not have any place to impound your vehicle. One person in my office was stopped by cops for a random red light thing. When they checked the RC, it was an 11 year old diesel. They said they would have to impound the car, but took a 1000 bucks, brought down from 5000 rupees. As expected, its being treated as a fleecing exercise.
Its all a matter of chance, I believe.
The biggest issue I am personally facing is renewal of PUC. Last time I had to go deep into Noida to get it after being refused by my regular lace. This time It will have to be even further, I think .

Has anyone managed to get an NOC for a under 10 year diesel from the Delhi RTO so far?
If so, any clue about the 5 year tax that ought to be returned?

I have got am NOC. The tax refund is a separate application that you need to initiate I guess. Ofcourse it would not be easy to take money back from them. I would love to hear if someone manages to do that and then all of us follow the same. That is probably the only way to make the government realize our agony when they start losing revenue.

I got NOC issued in January 2019 for my 2009 Punto - 6 months short of hitting 10 years (car sold). It was hassle free for the most part - no agent needed and zero fee paid.

For the tax refund, it can only be claimed by the first owner and that too if the NOC states that the first owner itself is registering the vehicle in another state and one has to submit proof that tax has been paid in another state before applying for it. If it's part of a sale, no refund can be claimed. Similarly, second or subsequent owners can not claim tax refund as per the rules.

Is the 10 year rule applicable from manufacturing or registration??

Registration, the day when the car comes on road and starts polluting.

10 years from the date of manufacture.

Source: An acquaintance bought a 10 year-old ex-Army Gypsy from Mayapuri hoping to get it registered in 2019 and run it till 2034 (15 years from the date of registration for a petrol vehicle). Was in for a rude shock when he found out that the 15 years would be counted from 2009 (date of manufacture).

That's what it should be,no? But apparently it ain't.

Thanks, that's what I was trying to get a confirmation on.
This is pure persecution.

Army vehicles don't have a RC or a similar document?

Not really, no. Like in the case I stated above, an army vehicle would already have been on road and polluting for several years even before it's registered. In that case it'd be unfair to other vehicles if the calculation would be done on the basis of the year of registration.

They're registered internally, in the army. Not to the MVD like civilian cars. Which is also why they have a separate nomenclature system as can be seen on their number plates.

When someone buys an ex-Army vehicle, it's the same as an unregistered/new vehicle so it first has to be registered with the MVD. In these cases, the manufacturing and registration years vary by quite a large margin.

I don't mean to sound blunt, but isn't that quite evident?
