The Supreme Court has allowed the registration of BS4 vehicles for those who missed it because of the lockdown due to COVID-19
The Supreme Court has allowed the registration of BS4 vehicles for those who missed it because of the lockdown due to COVID-19
- Initially, the plan was to clear out BS4 inventories by March 31, 2020.
- But economies across the world were disrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic, and a lockdown was announced in March-end.
- Because of this, a lot of those who had purchased BS4-compliant vehicles just before the lockdown started were unable to register.
- Now with the Supreme Court’s verdict, customers should be able to complete the paperwork.
The Indian auto industry made the transition from BS4 to BS6 emission standards on April 1, 2020. Earlier, the plan was to sell off all the remaining stock of BS4-compliant two-wheelers before March 31, 2020. However, cases of the coronavirus pandemic started rising in March end, forcing the government to announce a complete nationwide lockdown on March 24. But according to the vehicle registration website ‘Vahan’, only 9,01,223 out of 9,56,015 BS4 vehicles were registered between March 12 and March 31, 2020, before things got disrupted due to the lockdown.
In a bid to offer peace of mind to the customers who got their vehicles stuck in a limbo of paperwork, the Supreme Court has now allowed the registration of BS4-compliant vehicles that were bought in March.
Earlier, the Supreme Court gave a 10-day leeway period for all cities except the NCR region to allow the sale of 10 percent of unsold BS4-compliant vehicles at the last moment. However, apart from customers missing out on registrations due to the lockdown, dealers also reportedly oversold beyond the threshold, drawing the Supreme Court’s ire.

But now with the lockdown norms being relaxed and RTO offices commencing operations, registering your vehicle should be a hassle-free process. In a related development, many manufacturers like Royal Enfield, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Bajaj, Hero MotoCorp and TVS have extended their service plans and in some cases, the warranties as well, to ensure peace of mind since most vehicles were left unused during the strict lockdown.

- Pocket rocketThe only bike in the segment which provides you punchy power and aggressive position it may have some cons still who are above 5.5 height can ride this rocket comfortable. Personally I love riding sports bike and this is seriously a legendary one in the segment also from 200cc segment. I reached upto 153 of speed on a highway which is so much within a 155cc segment. End of the day its very sexy for enthusiasts who prioritise power over features. So good i mean its powerful but not that torquey its so light weight and too much powerful no braking issues for me personally and mileage i got is around 42 to 45 in city and around 50 on highways too good for college students but you get back pains and spine problems not suitable for long rides good for flicking in traffic. Yes i do, The things you have to consider while buying this is its power packed for a beginner its good for track not suitable for long rides and also you have to be confident while driving this when VVA kicks in you just fly.Read More3
