How Vehicle Scrapping Works at Global Scrappage Yards

Most people scrap a vehicle only once, and the questions are usually the same:

?

What do you need from me?

?

Will you pick the vehicle up?

?

What happens with the RTO?

?

When do I get paid?

This page walks through our process end to end. Global Scrappage Yards is a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) authorised by the Government of India, operating from our own yard at Mubarikpur, Derabassi, in Mohali district. Every step below happens at our facility or is handled by our team, you can also read more about who we are first if you prefer.

The Vehicle Scrapping Process at a Glance

The process runs in five stages:

1

Get a quote.

Share your vehicle details and receive an estimated scrap value.

2

Schedule pickup.

Fix a time and location that suits you. We collect at no cost across our service area.

3

Documentation and RC handling.

We verify your papers, deface the RC in your presence and file everything on the government portal.

4

Scrapping and recycling.

The vehicle is depolluted, dismantled and recycled at our facility.

5

Certificate and payment.

Your scrap certificate is generated and payment is released on deposit.

Step 1

Get a Quote for Your Vehicle

The first thing to settle is what the vehicle is worth. Send us the details by phone, WhatsApp or through the enquiry form.

What to send us

  • Make, model and year
  • Registration number
  • Current condition (running, not starting, damaged, dismantled)
  • A photograph or two, if possible

What we do with it: We give you an indicative estimate based on your vehicle’s category, weight and current scrap metal rates. It is a starting figure; the final value is confirmed after the vehicle is weighed openly at our yard.

Step 2

Schedule Vehicle Pickup

Once you are comfortable with the estimate, we fix a pickup time. Free doorstep pickup is included across our service area – home, workplace, workshop, or a parking spot the vehicle has not moved from in years.

A few things worth knowing

  • Your vehicle does not need to start
  • It does not need to have all four wheels
  • You do not need to arrange a tow
  • Someone from your side should be present at handover with the required papers

If your vehicle can be driven safely, you are welcome to bring it in yourself. Our yard is at Khasra No. 56/11, Pandawala Road, Mubarikpur, Derabassi, Mohali – 140507, and many customers prefer to see the facility first. See the full list of vehicle types we accept on our Services page.

Step 3

Documentation and RC Handling

This is the step most owners are unsure about, so here is how it actually works.

Documents to keep ready

  • A copy of the Registration Certificate (RC)
  • Aadhaar and PAN of the registered owner
  • A photograph of the vehicle

A few cases need more – a loan closure NOC if the vehicle was financed, extra proof if ownership changed hands informally, or additional papers if the registered owner has passed away or dues are pending. Mention it when you call and we will tell you exactly what to bring.

What we handle

  • Verifying your documents against the vehicle
  • Defacing the physical Registration Certificate in your presence
  • Recording the scrapping against your vehicle on the Government of India portal
  • Filing the paperwork required for RC deregistration
Here is the honest split: as an RVSF we record the scrapping and issue the certificates, and the RTO then cancels the registration in VAHAN on the basis of that record. That authority sits with the government, not with us. What we take off your plate is the running around – the paperwork is filed correctly the first time, so you do not have to visit the RTO in person.
Step 4

Scrapping and Recycling at Our Facility

Once your vehicle arrives at the yard, it goes through recycling in a specific order – the difference between a proper vehicle recycling facility and a roadside cutter.

  • Depollution first – engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, coolant and fuel are drained off and collected
  • Battery, tyres and other hazardous components are removed and routed separately
  • Reusable assemblies are taken off before the shell is processed
  • Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are segregated for recycling into new material

Working in this order keeps oils, coolants and hazardous materials out of the soil and groundwater. More on our Environmental Impact page.

Real-time tracking lets you follow the vehicle through each stage – received, depolluted, recycled – so there is no guesswork about where it is in the process.

Step 5

Scrap Certificate and Payment

Two things happen on deposit:

  • A scrap certificate is generated on the official Government of India portal in your name – proof that the vehicle was scrapped at an authorised facility. The RTO, insurers and manufacturers offering scrappage discounts all accept it.
  • Payment for the scrap value is released on deposit, not weeks after.
🔒

Keep the certificate safely. It is what a dealer will ask to see if you later claim a scrappage benefit against a new vehicle.

Why the Process Runs Through an Authorised RVSF

!

A vehicle sold to a roadside cutter may physically leave your gate, but it does not leave your name in official records. The RC continues to show as active, and any challans or misuse tied to that vehicle number remain your problem.

Only a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility can issue the certificates that support formal deregistration on VAHAN and record the scrapping on the government portal. Choosing an authorised facility is what actually closes the file, not just what gets you a better price.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start the scrapping process?+

Call or WhatsApp us on +91 9888129919 with your vehicle details. You will get an estimate the same day and, if you go ahead, we fix a pickup time from there.

Does the vehicle need to be running?+

No. Non-running, seized-engine, accident-damaged and long-abandoned vehicles are collected the same way as running ones. You do not need to arrange a tow.

What documents do I need to hand over on pickup day?+

A copy of the RC, Aadhaar and PAN of the registered owner, and a photograph of the vehicle. If the vehicle was financed, keep the loan closure NOC ready. Anything else will be flagged before pickup day.

What happens to my vehicle after it leaves my gate?+

It is brought to our yard, weighed openly and inspected, then depolluted before dismantling. Oils, coolants, batteries and tyres are handled first; the metal shell is then processed for recycling. Real-time tracking keeps you updated.

When do I get paid?+

On deposit. Once the vehicle is received, weighed and accepted at the yard, payment for the agreed scrap value is released – no chasing, no weeks of waiting.

Who cancels the RC, you or the RTO?+

Both, in different roles. We deface the RC in your presence, record the scrapping on the government portal and file the paperwork; the RTO then cancels the registration in VAHAN on the basis of that record. Our job is to make sure everything reaches them correctly so you do not have to make the trip.

How long does the whole process take?+

From pickup to payment, a few days is typical. The scrap certificate is generated as soon as the vehicle is deposited. RTO-side deregistration updates run on government timelines, which we cannot control but will keep you posted on.
