Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) in a recent press note said that they have filed an application in the Supreme Court seeking directions for ensuring that sale and/or registration of BS-IV vehicles are allowed till the cut-off date of 31st March 2020.

The Supreme Court on 24th October 2018 has issued the deadline of 31st March for the sale of BS-IV vehicles in the country. Recently, some State Governments have recently issued circulars directing that no applications for Registration of BS-IV vehicles would be accepted on or after a certain date, which is much ahead of 31st March 2020. These dates, for different states, ranging from 29th February 2020 to 25th March 2020. This decision was taken by state governments even though BS-VI Emission compliance is mandated from 1st April 2020 by SC.

Circulars by various state governments have put the Customers, Dealers and Vehicle manufacturers in severe discomfort, as each of them is racing against time to exhaust the BS-IV stocks which are with the dealers
