With India's new Vehicle Scrapping Policy in effect, understanding RVSF (Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility) has become crucial for every vehicle owner. Choosing the right scrapping facility isn't just about getting the best price—it's about legal compliance, environmental responsibility, and maximizing your benefits. Here's everything you need to know about RVSF and why government authorization matters.
