Citizens with a disability of 90% or more can benefit from the right to purchase vehicles without SCT. There is no age limit for these individuals, and they can designate others to use the vehicle. If the disabled person is under 18 years old or unable to drive, family members can be granted the right to use the vehicle. Additionally, one of the spouses or children of a martyr, or if there are no spouse and children, one of the parents can benefit from the SCT exemption for vehicle purchase once.
