PUC of My WB38A0582 on 2023-04-11

Already 32 yrs old (1991 to 2023). 

On Tuesday 2023-04-11 evening, exactly 6 months after the previous PUC testing, it was time for PUC testing and renewal at HPCL Auto Super Service, Beliaghata, Kolkata 700010. 

MyWB38A0582 qualified with flying colours. 

Even after clocking a whopping 2,25,000+ kms on the odometer, I don't intend to let go my old boy throughout my lifetime. 

Ever since 1991, I have all the bills of every litre of petrol filled and every millilitre of self mixing 2T oil I bought in the 3+ decades. My LML Vespa 150NV Spl still gives me a mileage of 31 - 32 kmpl, the same as it gave me in 1991 and also during my subsequent rides to Vizag, Bhubaneswar, Angul, Sambalpur, Raipur, Asansol, North Bengal, Jamshedpur, etc from Kolkata.

PUC of my LML Vespa (My WB38A0582) on 2022-10-12

My 31 yrs young LML Vespa 150 NV (mid 1991 model) has surely clocked over 2,00,000 kms (might be even 2.5 lakh kms, too). 

On Wednesday 2022-10-12, I got the PUC done at my regular PUC outlet attached with Auto Super Service, a HPCL filling station near my house in Kolkata. Prior to inserting the stick in the silencer, the PUC boy was apprehensive if my workhorse would pass the test. Once his system was switched on he was stunned to see how phenomenally my baby performed. 

And still there's so much of hoopla in India about scaringly expensive electric vehicles (EV) and scrapping of automobiles above 10 yrs (for diesel)/ 15 yrs (for petrol). 

Dumping the enemies within India behind bars is a far better idea than trashing old vehicles. True Indians will be able to breathe better and live longer!

MORTH directives for validity of PUC certificates

The directives by MORTH about PUC certification are clear and specific. There's very little ambiguity. 

- For the 1st one year after registration of a new car, you don't need to get PUC done. 

- For BS4 and BS6 cars, PUC certificates need to be obtained after every 12 months. 

Please keep this post handy with you while you are there on road. Cops in any state don't frame their own PUC compliance rules.
