The Uttar Pradesh Government has introduced a new tax exemption rule for vehicle scrapping. As per the newly announced rule, all the vehicles that are registered before the year 2023, are eligible to get a 75 percent tax cut when going for the scrapping.
In case your vehicle belongs to registration before 2008, it will get you a tax exemption of 50 percent. When it comes to the diesel models that have been registered in the National Capital Region (NCR) between 2008 and 2013, are now eligible for a tax reduction of 50 percent.
Deadline to Get Benefits

It has been reported that over 1.5 lakh end-of-life vehicles have been found, which have not cleared their dues. The list includes over 25,000 commercial vehicles.
The move comes at a time when the country is witnessing a growing percentage of pollution in the air. The decision aims to reduce the air pollution in NCR, putting back the air quality into the normal graph.
