As per Pune RTO, to reduce the increasing pollution the ministry of transport has levied a green tax on private category vehicles above 15 years. So that people avoid using old vehicles, the latter scheme is to scrap these vehicles under the scrapping policy and provide financial assistance to the concerned vehicle owners to buy a new vehicle. However, this is not yet applicable to private category vehicles.

While the re-registration of all vehicles over 15 years of age is mandatory. A total of 35,423 vehicles were re-registered in the Pune RTO in the financial year 2022-23. In this, 22,436 were non-transport vehicles and 12,987 vehicles belong to the transport category. From this, the RTO has received an income revenue of 9.97 crore.
