How We Work
From the first photo you upload to the final piece of paperwork, here's exactly what happens when you scrap your end-of-life vehicle with us — transparent, legal, and handled for you at every step.
Our Way of Recycling
ScrapMyCar is India's first online platform built for scrapping and deregistering End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs). Our vehicle-specific, algorithm-driven quotation engine finds the best possible price for your car, while our team handles every bit of the legal paperwork so you don't have to visit a single government office.
Nine Steps, Zero Hassle
Every ELV moves through the same tightly tracked pipeline — here's what happens at each stage.
Vehicle Assessment
Share a few photos and basic details — make, model, and condition — and our system uses them to work out an accurate scrap value for your car.
Auction Among RVSFs
We put your car up for bidding among government-registered scrappers. That competition is what pushes your payout to the highest current market rate.
Document Verification
Once bidding closes, our team collects and verifies ownership proof, ID (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.), and any other paperwork the process needs.
Government Portal Filing
Your vehicle's details are filed on the MoRTH portal, keeping the entire scrapping process compliant with India's vehicle-scrapping regulations.
Scheduled Pickup
We arrange towing at a time that works for you, handling logistics end-to-end so scrapping your car takes zero effort on your part.
Instant Payment & Deposit Certificate
Payment lands the moment your car is picked up, along with the official Certificate of Deposit from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways.
Transport to the RVSF
Your car is safely moved to a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility — a government-approved site built for eco-friendly disposal.
Eco-Friendly Scrapping
The facility dismantles your vehicle responsibly: usable parts are salvaged for reuse, and hazardous materials are disposed of safely.
Certificate & RC Cancellation
You receive a Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS), and we handle RC cancellation for you — full legal closure, no loose ends.
We come to you — you don't come to us
No dropping the car off, no waiting in line. Our pickup team arrives at the scheduled slot, handles the towing, and takes your vehicle straight into the certified chain of custody — all the way to the scrapping facility.

Your vehicle must be handed to a government-registered RVSF, deposited on the MoRTH portal, and issued a Certificate of Deposit followed by a Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping. ScrapMyCar manages every one of these steps for you.
Older vehicles cost more to run, pollute more, and eventually stop passing fitness checks. Scrapping closes that chapter cleanly — and legally — while putting cash back in your pocket.
You can sell it informally, try to repair and keep driving it, or scrap it through a registered facility. Only the last option gives you legal deregistration and a fair, auction-driven price.
The Vehicle Scrappage Policy requires ELVs to be processed only through government-registered scrapping facilities, with every step logged on the MoRTH portal for full traceability.
It follows the nine steps outlined above — from photo-based assessment through auction, documentation, pickup, and finally certified scrapping with RC cancellation.
Yes, but it means visiting the RTO in person with a stack of documents. We file it on your behalf as part of the standard process, at no extra effort to you.
Vehicles only go to registered RVSFs bound by government rules to dismantle, not resell, end-of-life vehicles — and the Certificate of Deposit confirms that handover on record.
Selling outside your registered zone can leave the RC unclosed and the vehicle legally still linked to you, which risks fines or liability tied to whatever happens to it next.
It's dismantled at a registered facility: reusable parts are salvaged, metal is recycled, and hazardous fluids and materials are disposed of following environmental guidelines.
