HR Alert: Keeping Illegal Vehicles in Office Transport Could Cost You

By DosNextGen India Private Limited

Across India’s corporate hubs, employee transport fleets form the backbone of daily commuting. Whether vans, buses, or shared cars, they are meant to ensure staff safety, punctuality, and convenience. Yet, a hidden compliance risk is emerging—many of these vehicles are ageing beyond their legal life limits. What seems like an overlooked detail in HR or administration can, in fact, expose companies to fines, reputational damage, and even legal liabilities.

At DosNextGen India Private Limited, we have observed that organisations across Delhi NCR (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan) often underestimate the risks of operating expired diesel or petrol vehicles. The reality is clear: outdated fleets are not just an environmental burden but a compliance trap.


The Law Every HR Team Must Know

As per directives from the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH):

  • Diesel vehicles older than 10 years and
  • Petrol vehicles older than 15 years

are prohibited from operating in NCR, regardless of their condition. Vehicles breaching these limits are treated as End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) and must be scrapped at an authorised facility.

For HR and transport managers, ignoring this rule can mean:

  • Seizure of office fleet vehicles
  • Heavy fines and penalties
  • Invalidated insurance in case of accidents
  • Safety risks for employees travelling in expired vehicles

Why Scrapping Is Smarter for Businesses

Aging fleets do not just expose companies to penalties—they drain finances and compromise safety. By retiring expired vehicles responsibly, companies can:

  • Ensure Legal Compliance – Protect against regulatory action and keep operations audit-ready.
  • Safeguard Employees – Provide staff with reliable, roadworthy vehicles rather than expired risks.
  • Unlock Financial Benefits – Through a Certificate of Deposit (CoD) issued at authorised scrapping facilities, companies can claim:
    • Discounts on new fleet purchases
    • Road tax rebates
    • Registration fee waivers
    • Scrap value payouts

HR’s Role in Green Mobility Leadership

Human Resources today is not limited to payroll, hiring, or policies. HR teams are emerging as custodians of workplace sustainability and compliance. By leading scrapping initiatives, HR departments can position their organisations as responsible employers that prioritise both employee safety and environmental responsibility.
