Automobile Verification

• Intellectual Property laws: The Copyright Act, 1957, The Patents Act 1970, The Designs Act 2000, The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act 1999 and The Customs Act, 1962 provide safeguards against the infringement of intellectual properties. India has made significant changes to its IP laws in the recent past, yet we have a long way to go. We need more randomized raids to arrest counterfeiting and fraudulent practices that threaten IP rights.
  • Access to technology: The widespread availability of technology has enabled counterfeiters to operate in sophisticated ways. Thus, they avoid detection through ingenious means to identify Genuine Auto Components. They operate under the radar.
  • Increased Globalization: Open borders encourage the free-flowing of counterfeit parts across countries, thereby increasing market coverage.
  • Organized crime: Automobile parts are in high demand, and hence the parallel grey market runs successfully. Because of the high yields and sales of fake automobile parts, it has become a source of income for organized crime.
  • Lack of awareness: Counterfeit manufacturers operate under the guise of the original brand. It is impossible for customers to spot a Genuine Auto Components, especially in the case of items that can be easily duplicated. These include brake pads, suspensions, filters and more.

• Cost to the exchequer: In the absence of legitimate paperwork, the sale proceeds of counterfeit products go unchecked. Loss of direct and indirect taxes through such gains compromises the functioning of the economy.
• Cost of substandard quality: Fake automobiles parts reduce the overall performance standards of a vehicle. The lifetime cost of maintenance and ownership of vehicles also rises due to the usage of counterfeit automobile parts.
• Safety: Studies have shown that fitting counterfeit brake pads results in an increase of 36% to 66% in braking distance. Counterfeit products often follow the ‘one fit for all’ rule.

Thus, they do not consider the model specifications. Counterfeit manufacturers of automobiles part flout safety regulations.
