CoD & CVS — what car owners should know

Two different certificates, two different stages

Note: Formal CoD and CVS on VAHAN are issued through authorised RVSFs under applicable rules. As your car scrap dealer contact, we guide on value and the certificate path for eligible cars.

📜 Certificate of Deposit (CoD)

Acceptance / deposit proof when the facility takes the vehicle into the formal scrapping process.

Often linked to tax / new-vehicle related benefits (State & OEM dependent)
Distinct from the final scrapping certificate

✅ Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS)

Proof after dismantling / scrapping at a registered facility.

Supports deregistration pathway
Usually after CoD — not always same day

Financial & Legal Benefits

Why selling scrap through a proper car scrap dealer matters

💰 Monetary Benefits

Certificate of Deposit (CoD) can support new-vehicle related benefits under applicable rules
Motor vehicle tax concession of up to 25% (non-transport) or 15% (transport), subject to State notification
Manufacturer offers may apply when you present a valid CoD

We explain what is realistic for your car and state before you commit.
