To sell your vehicle scrap certificate (Certificate of Deposit) online, log in to the Parivahan VSCRAP portal, open your certificate, and use the Trade option. It routes the transfer to a government-authorised marketplace such as DigiELV, where buyers purchasing a new vehicle are looking for exactly this certificate.
You then list the certificate using its CD number, negotiate and agree on a price with a buyer, and complete the transfer with an Aadhaar-linked OTP. According to the official VAHAN Voluntary Vehicle Scrapper guideline, offline sale is not permitted and the certificate must be sold within its two-year validity. The whole process is digital and verified through VAHAN.\.
Yes. A vehicle scrap certificate, formally a Certificate of Deposit, is a tradable government certificate, and you can sell it online to someone buying a new vehicle. If you scrapped a vehicle but are not replacing it, selling is how you avoid letting the benefit lapse.
It carries value because the buyer can claim incentives at registration. According to MoRTH, those are a road tax concession of 15 to 25 percent depending on the state, a registration fee waiver, and a manufacturer discount. Selling passes that saving to a buyer and puts cash in your hands.
The sale has to go through the authorised online route. According to the official VAHAN FAQ, offline buying and selling is not permitted, and every transfer is verified through VAHAN. The certificate can be transferred once, from you to a buyer, and only while it is valid.
Keep the definitions light here. If you want the full background on the document itself,what a vehicle scrap certificate is covers how it is issued, while this page stays focused on selling it.
Selling the certificate online follows one continuous flow. You start on the government's Parivahan portal to confirm the certificate is genuine, then the Trade button hands you over to DigiELV, where you list it, settle a price with a buyer, and complete a verified transfer.
Every stage is digital, and nothing happens offline:
Verify your certificate first: log in to theParivahan VSCRAP portal and open your Certificate of Deposit. Confirm that it is valid, unused, and issued by an authorized RVSF, so it is ready to trade.
Use the Trade button: on your certificate, click the Trade option. Because the sale cannot happen offline, this hands you over to a government-authorised marketplace such as DigiELV.
Set up your DigiELV account: register or log in with the details asked for, then finish the quick mobile and KYC verification. Once that is done, your certificate appears under your list of CDs.
Create your sell offer: enter the 15-digit CD number and set your asking price. Keep it within the platform's minimum and maximum band, so the listing stays competitive and moves quickly.
Review the offers and negotiate: buyers who are registering a new vehicle place their offers. Open competition lets you push for a fair price rather than settle for a single low bid.
Authenticate and get paid: approve the transfer with the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number. The payment is released to you once the buyer completes their side.
Download your records: the certificate moves to the buyer and VAHAN updates instantly. Save the transaction record for your files, and the sale is done.
A buyer completes the mirror image of these steps totrade a Certificate of Deposit into their own name, verified through the same VAHAN transfer, so both sides are protected.
A transfer only goes through if the certificate and your details are clean. Run this checklist before you list, since these are the things that block a sale at the last step.
Aadhaar-linked mobile number: the transfer is authorised by an OTP to this number, so a mismatch is what stops most sales. Confirm it is current on VAHAN first.
Clean record: the vehicle must have had no active loan, unpaid challans, or legal disputes at the time of scrapping.
Valid, unused certificate: it must not already be redeemed or transferred, since the certificate moves only once.
Within validity: sell before expiry, and ideally earlier, because more remaining validity is worth more to a buyer.
Documents ready: the CD number, original RC, Aadhaar and PAN, and bank account details for the payout.
Get the Aadhaar-linked mobile right and the rest is straightforward. That single mismatch is why most transfers fail at the OTP stage, so it is worth checking before anything else.
Price is driven by what the buyer can save, so the same certificate can fetch different amounts. A few things tilt the number in your favour.
Sell earlier. Certificates closer to their issue date usually fetch more, because more of the two-year validity window remains for the buyer to use the benefit.
Match demand to the right state. The road tax concession varies by state, so a buyer registering in a higher-rebate state can save more and will pay more for your certificate.
Price within the band. Listing within any minimum and maximum range the platform sets attracts buyers quickly without underselling. A realistic asking price moves faster than an inflated one.
Use an authorised marketplace. Open listings and buyer competition create transparent price discovery, which beats an informal one-off deal. DigiELV, a MoRTH-authorised, VAHAN-integrated marketplace, verifies certificates, enables that price discovery, handles secure payment, and transfers ownership digitally.
Your vehicle scrap certificate is a tradable asset, and if you are not buying a new vehicle, selling it online before it expires turns it into cash. The sale has to run digitally through the authorised, VAHAN-verified route, not an informal deal.
DigiELV, a MoRTH-authorised marketplace, is built for exactly this: verified certificates, fair price discovery, secure payment, and instant digital transfer. List your certificate on DigiELV to reach verified buyers and sell it while it still holds full value.
Yes. The certificate, a Certificate of Deposit, is tradable and can be sold online to a buyer purchasing a new vehicle. The sale runs through an authorised, VAHAN-integrated marketplace.
Selling happens through the government-authorised route that the Parivahan Trade button opens. DigiELV is a MoRTH-authorised, VAHAN-integrated marketplace built for this transfer.
There is no fixed figure. The price tracks the buyer's savings, mainly the state road tax concession of 15 to 25 percent per MoRTH, plus remaining validity and demand.
No. According to the official VAHAN FAQ, offline buying and selling is not permitted. The transfer must be completed online and verified through VAHAN.
The listing and agreement depend on buyer demand, but the transfer itself is quick once payment is arranged. It completes after the Aadhaar OTP is verified, and VAHAN records update instantly.
The CD number is the 15-digit alphanumeric ID of your certificate and the primary reference for any transfer. You find it on your certificate in the VAHAN or Parivahan account.
Yes, as long as it is within the two-year validity. Value is usually lower near expiry, though, because the buyer has less time to use the benefit.
Yes. The transfer is authorised by an OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile, so it must be current in the VAHAN database. This is the most common reason sales stall.
