The Maharashtra government has announced new rates for the pollution check certificate, raising fees for petrol, diesel and CNG vehicles. The updated charges will apply from the upcoming fiscal period.
The Maharashtra government has released revised rates for the pollution check certificate, effective from the next fiscal period. The new fees apply to all petrol, diesel and CNG vehicles registered in the state.
Vehicle owners will need to pay the updated amount when renewing their pollution check certificate, a mandatory document for road use. While the exact percentage increase is not disclosed, the government said the change aims to support ongoing environmental monitoring.
The certificate, issued by the state’s transport department, confirms that a vehicle meets emission standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board. Higher fees are expected to help fund stricter enforcement and improve air quality across Maharashtra.
Owners can obtain the updated rates from the transport department’s website or local offices. Failure to renew the certificate will result in penalties and potential vehicle impoundment.
