RecordUse it to verifyWhy keep it
Official PM E-DRIVE portal statusVehicle category and current scheme windowProtects the decision if a portal, account screen or verbal explanation changes.
Dealer quotation and final invoiceWhether the exact model and manufacturer process satisfy current scheme conditionsSeparates a written fact from a sales statement.
Vehicle model detailsHow the incentive appears in the dealer invoice or claim workflowCreates a dated record another reviewer can verify.
Scheme acknowledgement where applicableVehicle category and current scheme windowLets you challenge the exact field, charge, date or obligation.

Check these first

  • State the exact expected result and the exact result you have now.
  • Find the official record that owns the result and compare it with your evidence.
  • Change one thing at a time, then verify the final state before moving on.

Fix it in this order

  1. State the exact expected result and the exact result you have now.
  2. Find the official record that owns the result and compare it with your evidence.
  3. Capture vehicle model, VIN, battery/charger serial where available, odometer, warning codes, and the exact symptom.
  4. Ask the authorised service centre for diagnostic findings and the warranty clause used for approval or denial.
  5. Separate normal range variation from a measurable fault using repeatable conditions, charging logs, error codes, or state-of-health evidence.
  6. Keep invoices, job cards, firmware/service history, and photographs of warnings or damage.
  7. For subsidy/incentive issues, verify model eligibility, invoice treatment, registration details, and portal status independently.

Build the proof pack

  • Purchase invoice and warranty
  • Job cards/diagnostic report
  • Charging/range/error evidence
  • Subsidy or portal application record where relevant

Avoid making the case harder

  • Opening or repairing high-voltage components yourself
  • Accepting a warranty denial without the clause/reason
  • Assuming brochure range is guaranteed in every condition

How you know it is really fixed

  • The official record and your real-world result agree.
  • You have enough written evidence to prove the issue is finished if it returns later.

If it is still not fixed

  1. Manufacturer/dealer grievance
  2. Scheme/portal helpdesk when incentive-related
  3. Consumer remedy for unresolved product/service disputes
