Delhi Bans Non-BS-VI Vehicles: Check Your Car, Avoid Rs 20,000 Fine!

• Delhi bans non-BS-VI private vehicles registered outside the city from December 18 due to severe pollution.
• Vehicles entering Delhi must be BS-VI compliant; BS-IV diesel vehicles are also permitted. CNG, LNG, electric, and hybrid electric vehicles are exempt.
• Violators face fines up to Rs 20,000 for non-compliance and Rs 10,000 for lacking a valid Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC).
• Check your vehicle's BS-VI compliance via RC, manufacturing date (post-April 1, 2020), owner's manual, service centers, or the VAHAN portal.
• Fuel pumps now require a valid PUCC for petrol and diesel sales, adding urgency to vehicle certification.

Why It Matters: Delhi enforces strict BS-VI entry rules and PUCC for all vehicles to combat severe pollution.
