Summary:
The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the registration of BS-IV vehicles that were sold in March this year, but could not be registered due to the nationwide lockdown before the March 31 deadline.
A bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra said that all registrations on e-portal, including temporary registrations, are allowed. However, the relaxation won`t be applicable to Delhi-NCR.
"We cannot be allowing registration of vehicles in Delhi-NCR. This is not applicable to Delhi NCR," said the news agency quoting the SC.

The BS-IV vehicles sold after March 31 this year will not be presently registered, the court had said.
