You can download your vehicle scrapping certificates through the government's V-Scrap portal atvscrap.parivahan.gov.in. Log in as the vehicle owner and select View COD to access the Certificate of Deposit (CD) or View CVS to access the Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS), once the respective document has been issued and digitally signed.
These certificates serve different purposes. The CD records the vehicle's deposit for scrapping and can support eligible incentives when registering a new vehicle. The CVS confirms that the vehicle has been scrapped and supports the subsequent cancellation of its registration. You may receive access to the CD before the CVS because the documents are issued at different stages of the scrapping process.
A Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) issues two certificates during the scrapping process. The Certificate of Deposit documents the vehicle's acceptance, while the Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping confirms that dismantling and treatment have been completed.
The CD, issued in Form 2C, records the vehicle's deposit with an authorised RVSF. Under thevehicle scrappage policy rules, it serves as the document required to claim eligible benefits when registering a new vehicle.
The CD is valid for two years from its date of issue under the 2022 amendment to the RVSF Rules, subject to the applicable provisions. Eligible holders can use it for a qualifying vehicle purchase or transfer it to another buyer through an authorised trading process.
Keep the CD accessible after downloading it. You may need its identifying details when arranging a new vehicle registration, verifying the certificate or listing it for sale.
The CVS, issued in Form 4, confirms that the RVSF has dismantled and treated the vehicle. It serves as proof of scrapping and supports the cancellation of the vehicle's registration by the Regional Transport Office (RTO) under the applicable rules.
Unlike the CD, the CVS is not a tradable certificate and cannot be used to claim a road tax concession on a new vehicle. Keep it with your vehicle records in case you need to establish that the vehicle was scrapped.
The availability of each certificate depends on the stage your vehicle has reached at the RVSF.
Certificate | When it becomes available | Where to access it |
Certificate of Deposit (CD) | After the RVSF accepts the vehicle and issues the digitally signed certificate | View COD |
Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS) | After dismantling and treatment are completed and the RVSF issues the certificate | View CVS |
The CD generally becomes available first because the facility issues it following acceptance of the vehicle. The CVS follows after the scrapping work is complete.
There is no fixed processing timeline published for either document. Ask the RVSF when it expects to issue each certificate, particularly if you need the CD for a vehicle purchase or the CVS for your records.
The facility must also complete the applicable vehicle and ownership checks before accepting the vehicle. Outstanding hypothecation, pending dues, a blacklist or relevant criminal record flags may prevent the process from proceeding until the issue is resolved.
You can access the certificates through the V-Scrap portal using the vehicle owner's login. The steps are similar for both documents, but you must select the correct option for the certificate you need.
Open the portal: Visitvscrap.parivahan.gov.in.
Log in: Use the required credentials for the vehicle owner associated with the scrapping application.
Check the certificate status: Confirm with the RVSF that the relevant document has been issued and digitally signed.
Download the CD: Select View COD to access the Certificate of Deposit in Form 2C.
Download the CVS: Select View CVS when the Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping in Form 4 becomes available.
Save both documents: Store the downloaded files securely and retain the CVS with your vehicle records.
After downloading the CD, check its identifying details, registration mark and issue date against your records. The CD number is used to identify the certificate during verification and when it is applied to an eligible new vehicle registration.
If you have sold the CD, the new holder will need the appropriate transfer documentation. Check the platform's transfer process rather than assuming the original owner's downloaded certificate is sufficient for the buyer.
A missing download does not necessarily mean that the application has failed. The document may not have been issued yet, you may be using the wrong login, or the certificate may have been transferred to another holder.
Use the problem to identify the next step.
First, contact the RVSF and ask whether it has issued and digitally signed the document. If the vehicle has only recently been accepted, the CVS may not yet be ready because dismantling and treatment must be completed first.
If the RVSF confirms that the certificate has been issued, check the portal again and ensure you are using the correct account.
Confirm that you are using the required vehicle owner credentials and the account associated with the scrapping application. If the login continues to fail, use the support contact provided on the V-Scrap portal.
Have your application number, vehicle registration mark and available certificate details ready. These help the support team identify the relevant record.
A transferred CD is associated with the new holder through a Transfer Certificate of Deposit in Form 2D. If you have sold the certificate, check the transfer record and the platform's instructions for accessing the relevant document.
Do not attempt to resolve a transfer issue by relying solely on the original CD downloaded before the sale. The ownership record must reflect the completed transfer.
If the certificate shows a misspelt name, incorrect registration mark or another discrepancy, contact the issuing RVSF. Provide the application number, explain the error and ask how the record can be corrected.
Check the revised document before using it. For a CD, the issue date is particularly important because the applicableCD validity period is calculated from the date of issue.
Downloading the files is only part of the process. Keeping the right document and understanding what it proves can prevent problems during registration, verification or a future sale.
Treating the CD as proof of deregistration: The CD records the deposit for scrapping. The CVS confirms that scrapping has taken place and supports the registration cancellation process.
Discarding the CVS: Retain the certificate as evidence that the vehicle was scrapped, especially if questions arise about its records later.
Ignoring the CD's expiry date: The CD has a limited validity period. If you intend to use or sell it, plan ahead rather than waiting until expiry approaches.
Selling the CD without a recognised transfer: A private agreement alone may not provide the transfer documentation needed by the buyer. Use the applicable authorised trading process and ensure the transfer is recorded correctly.
Assuming the CVS can be traded: The CVS is proof of scrapping, not a certificate that can be sold to another vehicle owner for incentives.
For owners who do not intend to use their CD for a new vehicle purchase, DigiELV provides a marketplace for eligible certificate trades. Check the platform's current eligibility requirements and trading conditions before listing the certificate.
To download a vehicle scrap certificate online, log in to V-Scrap and select View COD for the Certificate of Deposit or View CVS for the Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping. The CD becomes available after acceptance and issuance, while the CVS follows completion of the scrapping process.
Save both documents and check their details as soon as they become available. Keep the CVS as proof of scrapping, and track the CD's validity if you intend to use it for an eligible vehicle purchase or sell it through an authorised platform.
If a certificate is missing or contains incorrect information, contact the issuing RVSF first. For login problems, use the support details available on V-Scrap.
The CD is issued following acceptance of the vehicle, while the CVS follows completion of dismantling and treatment. Processing time depends on the stage of the application and the facility's process. Ask the RVSF for the expected issuance dates.
The RVSF handling the vehicle issues both the Certificate of Deposit and the Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping. The RTO handles the registration cancellation process under the applicable rules.
You need to log in to V-Scrap and access the relevant certificate option. Keep your vehicle and application details available if the portal requests them. If you cannot locate the document, contact the issuing RVSF.
If the certificate is missing or inaccessible, first check View COD or View CVS on V-Scrap. If it remains unavailable, contact the issuing RVSF to ask about the applicable correction or reissue procedure.
Confirm current availability through the relevant official services. V-Scrap provides the portal route for accessing the CD and CVS; do not assume that either document is available in DigiLocker without checking.
You can list an eligible CD on theDigiELV CD marketplace, subject to the platform's trading requirements. The CD can be transferred to an eligible buyer through the applicable process, while the CVS remains your record of the vehicle's scrapping.
