According to the draft notification, the government plans to renew the 15-year-old vehicle's fitness certificate every six months. The deadline for this renewal is now one year. "The Ministry has issued a draft notification amending the Central Motor Vehicles Rules," the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said in a statement.
