New Delhi: There is very important news for the owners of old vehicles. If your vehicle is more than 20 years old, then now you will have to pay more money to renew the registration. The government has doubled the registration renewal fee. According to the new rule, it will now cost Rs 2,000 to renew the registration of a motorcycle older than 20 years. At the same time, it will cost Rs 10,000 to renew the registration of a car older than 20 years. This rule is a bit of a shock for those who are emotionally attached to their old vehicles.

What is the fee for 15 year old vehicles?
If your vehicle is more than 15 years old, but less than 20 years, then you do not need to worry. There has been no change in the registration renewal fee for you. The government has taken this step to reduce vehicles made before BS-II emission norms. BS-II is a kind of pollution control standard. Old vehicles pollute more, so the government wants to remove them from the road.
Road Transport Ministry is doing planning
The Road Transport Ministry had issued a draft notification in February. It proposed higher renewal fees for commercial medium and heavy vehicles older than 15 years. This fee was Rs 12,000 and Rs 18,000, but transport organizations opposed it. The ministry had also proposed to double the registration renewal fee for commercial medium and heavy vehicles older than 20 years. This fee was to be Rs 24,000 and Rs 36,000.
Fuss over old vehicles
However, according to sources, this proposal has been put on hold for now. The government will take a decision on this later. These changes have come after a decision of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has banned action against owners of petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years in Delhi and NCR.
