Supreme Court Defers Hearing On BS4 Vehicle Sales To July 31

The Supreme Court has given more time to the Government to file an affidavit with the details of the Vahan registrations in the plea made by the Federation of Automobiles Dealers Association (FADA) till July 31, 2020. The Supreme Court had eased the March 31 deadline for the sale of BS4 vehicles in India, giving an extension of 10 days, post the end of the lockdown period. It was ruled that companies would be able to sell only 10 per cent, of unsold BS4 vehicles, within 10 days after the lockdown ends. The ruling also stated that no BS4 vehicle can be sold in Delhi NCR and the vehicles have to be registered within 10 days of sale.
