The Ministry of Road, Transport, and Highways (MoRTH) introduced the BH number plate, or Bharat Number Plate 2021. The main objective of this plate is to make vehicle registration easier for people who move around a lot. Let’s look at the requirements, advantages, and application process for the BH number plate.
Eligibility Of BH Series Number Plate
- Workers in the State and Central Governments
- Workers in the defence industry
- Bank staff
- Employees of private companies having locations in more than four states or union territories
Advantages Of BH Series Number Plate
Once you move to state ‘Y’ and register your car in state ‘X’ under a standard number plate, you won’t be able to drive it for another year without reregistering in the new state. You’ll have to re-register the car after that.
This is when the Bharat number plate has an essential role. You will save time, effort, and paperwork by eliminating the need to re-register the car when moving to a new state or union territory. It is accepted all around the nation.
How To Apply For BH Series Number Plate?
- You can apply for a Bharat Number Plate on your own using the Vahan site operated by MoRTH, or you can ask the dealer where you purchased the car for help.
- The dealer will complete Form 20 on your behalf on the Vahan site.
- Form 60, a working certificate, and an official employee ID card must be submitted by private sector workers.
