Every car in India has a limited legal life, defined by government regulations and NGT (National Green Tribunal) rules.
These rules are especially strict in regions like Delhi NCR, where pollution control norms are closely enforced.

In simple terms:

• Petrol cars are generally allowed for 15 years

• Diesel cars are allowed for 10 years in Delhi NCR and some other regions

Once a vehicle crosses this limit, it may face restrictions, penalties, or mandatory scrapping — even if the car is mechanically perfect.

The goal of Carexpirycalculator.com is to make this information clear, quick, and accessible for everyone, without confusion or unnecessary steps.
No RTO visits. No paperwork. Just clarity.

Step 1: Enter Basic Details

To check your car’s expiry, you only need to enter a few basic details:

• Car type (Petrol or Diesel)

• Registration year

• State or city (for example, Delhi NCR)

That’s it.

You don’t need:

• Registration number

• RC copy

• Owner details

• Login or sign-up

This makes the tool especially useful when:

• You’re checking a second-hand car before buying

• You want to quickly compare multiple cars

• You just want a quick answer without technical hassle

Step 2: We Apply the Right Rules Automatically

Once you click on “Calculate”, our system applies the official vehicle life rules based on the details you entered.

The calculator uses standard government guidelines, such as:

• Petrol Cars: Valid for 15 years from the registration year

• Diesel Cars: Valid for 10 years, particularly in NCR regions

These are the same timelines followed by:

• RTOs

• Pollution control authorities

• Enforcement agencies

You don’t need to interpret notifications or read long circulars — the rules are applied automatically in the background.

Step 3: Get Instant, Clear Results

Within a second, you’ll see:

• Your car’s expiry year

• Whether the vehicle is currently valid

• How much legal life is still left

The idea is simple:
To save you time and give you a clear, no-confusion answer, without checking multiple websites or government notices.

Real-Life Example (Especially Useful for Delhi NCR Buyers)

Let’s say:

• You’re planning to buy a diesel car

• It was registered in 2015

• The car will be used in Delhi NCR

When you enter these details, the calculator will instantly show that:

• Diesel vehicles in NCR are allowed for 10 years

• The car’s legal life ends in 2025

This means:

• After 2025, the car cannot be legally used in Delhi NCR

• Renewal options are extremely limited

• Resale value drops significantly

Many buyers miss this and overpay — this tool helps you avoid that mistake.
