Planning To Get A BH Number Plate?
If you are planning to get a BH series number plate, then you come to read the right article. The government of India has now started offering the new BH series number plates to customers nationwide. BH stands as a code for the new number plate series called Bharat Series. This new facility will provide a quick benefit to the vehicle owners who have to travel frequently to different cities.
Well, we can say that this process was crucially needed. According to Section 47 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 the owners have to keep their vehicles in parent states only, i.e for where the vehicle is registered. They cannot keep their vehicles in any other state for more than 12 months. To follow these rules, owners were needed to re-register their vehicles to keep them in other states. Now, with BH number plates the owners don’t need to acquire the NOC from the parent state to re-register their vehicles.
