Yes, absolutely. Mining vehicles, including dumpers, tippers, and heavy transport trucks used in Jharkhand's mining operations, must be scrapped through an authorised RVSF. This ensures proper handling of hazardous materials and compliance with both MoRTH and JSPCB regulations. Illegal scrapping can result in severe penalties and environmental prosecution.

Yes, existing scrap yards can apply for RVSF registration, but they must upgrade their infrastructure to meet MoRTH specifications. This includes installing proper waste management systems, digital tracking equipment, and obtaining necessary pollution control consents. Leegal can assess your current setup and guide you through the regularisation process.

The RVSF license is typically valid for a specified period (usually 5 years) and requires renewal before expiry. Renewal involves demonstrating continued compliance, updated environmental clearances, and satisfactory inspection reports. It's advisable to begin the renewal process at least 6 months before expiry to avoid operational disruption.

RVSF facilities in Jharkhand are subject to periodic inspections by Transport Department officials and JSPCB officers. Routine inspections may occur annually, with additional surprise inspections possible. Maintaining proper documentation, digital records, and operational standards ensures smooth inspections and continued compliance.

Operating without RVSF authorization or violating compliance norms can result in substantial financial penalties (potentially lakhs of rupees), immediate facility closure orders, seizure of equipment, and criminal prosecution under environmental and motor vehicle laws. The reputational damage can also impact future business operations significantly.
