The government is reportedly moving to simplify renewal of Pollution Under Control Certificates (PUCC) for BSVI private vehicles by extending the certificate’s validity period. Under the proposal, cars that are up to six years old would receive a three-year validity term, reducing the frequency with which owners must renew the PUCC and attend related checks. The change is aimed at easing administrative and compliance burdens for qualifying vehicle owners.
At the same time, the proposal indicates that vehicles outside the qualifying age range would face tighter requirements. Older BSVI models and BSIV vehicles are expected to require more frequent compliance actions, including inspections and renewals, to ensure ongoing emissions control. The reporting also refers to a new “PUCC 3” framework, suggesting the measure will be implemented through a revised PUCC validity structure.
As described across the available coverage, the overall approach is a tiered system that allows longer renewal intervals for newer vehicles while maintaining or increasing inspection frequency for older models.
