Pollution Control Certificate For New Car?

[himalayan3009]

Gurrala74 & vijay: according to my knowledge it is valid for 1 year thats why i did not had the PUC for my verna as it is 10 months old now, that is why i am confused by the service guy statement that all the new vehicle needs the PUC.

Johnyboy: same story everywhere, i don't think so that the PUC guys would have ever found a vehicle breaking pollution norms.

PUC validity for new cars is 1 year now - Hindustan Times

This is for Punjab
http://punjabtransport.nic.in/html/pollution_control.htm

This is for Delhi
http://www.delhi.gov.in/wps/wcm/con...ort/Home/Pollution+Control/P.U.C.+Certificate

All the above mention
As provided under sub rule (7) of Rule 115 of Central Motor Vehicles Rules

So basically 1 year is valid through out India.

Here in bangalore, you cant get the certificate from everywhere. It has to be thru authorized agent who got internet connection. They need to login to RTO website and enter the value (scanned) and get the print out from website. It is almost an year since they have started.
Initially, they will ask all the details to enter in the website. Second time onwards, you need not mention anything. They pull out the record from the database stored.

I forgot to renew the Pollution certificate after 1 year. When i gave for service last time, i got it done from service center. They charged me 100Rs (6 months)

sunbaj: thanks for the information mate, and clearing my confusion.

appus: only internet connection??? don't they use gauge to check pollution level of the vehicle?

I used the word scan instead of gauge. The whole point behind the post was to say that Bangalore got a better system than omnis on roadside giving certificate.
Sorry for bad English

1)it's toublsesome that we get validity for 6 months only( in Maharashtra. )
2) most polluting vehicles are actually government vehicles (obvious black smoke ), tractors and rickshaws (perhaps on kerosine ). they're never checked or taken action against.

3) methods recommend for puc in India (full throttle for few minutes in neutral ) can cause heavy damage to new vehicles. it's mentioned in xuv 500 user manual.

then what was the method to asses the exhaust gas? the recommend method (not right method ) is to go full throttle and they attatch a small pipe to exhaust and measure the particles in air by some machine. what happens in turbo diesels (most new diesels ) that engine revvs past redline and could get damage.

but USUALLY. this is never done. they just take money and give certificate.

In Delhi NCR it is 3 months after 1 Year. Pain in the ass running around for PUC

As for the second point Police cannot take Bribe from those vehicles. Government Vehicles will never give bribe and the Tractors and Rikshae walas will say that they don't have money to pay chalan so it is people like us who maintain their vehicles in good condition but still pay bribes for not having the PUC.

It is just a method to do bussines for govt and dealers

it is a comm0n sense that no one can afford a vehicle running rich on petrol or diesal fuel pirce is very high i dont think that any one can afford avehicle burning so much fuel.
second thing is that trafic police has nothing to do with pollution they just find another options to keep their pockets warm.
here in my city you can make PUC just by taking vehicle to dealer he will take pic of same and will fill any parameter (under control)
next time u just come pay and get it renewed.
police wala will not see vehicle giving black clouds he just see PUC validity
inverse of this is also true

Hi bhvm,
Maybe I got confused by your post,you said you have to keep full throttle for few minutes,here they ask to press down the accelator for few seconds and then put the testing pipe into exhaust.

even a few seconds can be bad for engine. think of it as a runaway boulder rolling down. the engine is getting full blast of speed but there's no control or load to stabilize the speed. in developed countries they use dyno for loading the engine.

each dealer is different. some lazy guys need minutes to get a reading. some do faster. some guys in bad mood will trouble you by retakes. especially if you are paying only documented charges.

ps. running engine full blast could dislodge stuck carbon from silencer and upp the readings (we never drive that hard practically )

I was not aware of all this.
Btw: i forgott to make PUC for my car as it was about to renew from june. Thank god i am still spared fom the cops.

Hello members.

Not exactly 'on topic', but I guess this small query didn't warrant another thread. MODS may do so if they wish.

I was casually checking my PUC certificate and found out that the registration number entered is incorrect. This highlighted part in DL10 CE 1234 (random number just for example) is incorrect in the certificate. It is valid till Feb 2017 and I have been carrying the same since 4 Nov.

Should I be worried about it? The image of number plate on certificate shows the correct registration number and I carry all the documents all the time.
