The registration process for vintage motor vehicles has been formalised.
Highlights:
The Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, have been amended by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
The registration of Vintage Motor Vehicles has been formalised as a result of this amendment, with the goal of preserving and promoting the heritage of vintage vehicles.
The new rules will ensure a smooth process with notable features such as the retention of old registration numbers for previously registered vehicles and the use of a VA series (Unique Registration Mark) for new registrations.
Vintage Motor Vehicles are defined as all two and four wheeler vehicles that are over 50 years old, have been kept in their original condition, and have not undergone any significant overhaul.
