Imported vehicles will get more money
Owners of imported two -wheelers or three -wheelers will have to pay Rs 20,000 for renewal, and owners of imported cars or four wheelers will have to pay a heavy duty of Rs 80,000. The ministry issued an amendment draft in February and finalized it on 21 August. The step has been taken after the move taken by the government in October 2021 when it increased the renewal and registration fee of motorcycles, cars and three -wheelers. Meanwhile, the issue of the age limit of vehicles continues in courts.
In the beginning of August, the Supreme Court directed the officials not to take any punitive action against the owners of diesel vehicles older than 10 years older and 15 years old in Delhi-NCR. The bench issued this order after the Delhi government requested the court to consider their actual use instead of their construction year only while implementing the age limit policy of vehicles.
