New Vehicle Fitness Fee Structure Starts From 10 Years Onwards

One of the major changes is the shift of the age threshold for additional fitness testing fees. Previously, higher charges applied from the 15-year mark. Under the updated rules, the age for applying these revised slabs now begins at 10 years for several categories.

  • Vehicles older than 10 but not exceeding 15 years
  • Vehicles older than 15 but not exceeding 20 years
  • Vehicles older than 20 years
These categories include motorcycles, three-wheelers, quadricycles, light motor vehicles and different classes of goods and passenger vehicles. Each group has a clearly defined fee that increases as the vehicle age moves to the next bracket.
