What You Need To Know About The New Bharat Series Number Plates

The Government of India has already presented the new Bharat Series numbers. With this new standard in place, you will not need to go through the problem of re-enlisting your vehicle each time you move.  Presently, the new Bharat series number plate is just accessible under specific conditions. You may want to know the beginning and end of getting the BH Number Series in India. Be that as it may, in the event you have missed anything about the new number plate, you will find all details here.

A brief note on the new number plate

The very first thing that you need to know is that the Ministry of Transport has brought out another number series known as BH. The Transport Ministry has stated that a vehicle having this number plate will enable Indian residents to take the same across multiple Indian States. People can thus skirt the issue of long-winding paperwork and formalities for changing number plates whenever they move to other States. The numbers on these plates will be accessible anywhere in the country, which is a massive plus point.

A few facts to know about existing laws for number plates

As per the existing law, if a vehicle needs to be relocated from a state from where it was purchased, an NOC is needed. Additionally, the owner of the car should apply for a road tax refund early on. The parent State is the one issuing the refund in such scenarios.

The new number plate rule

Based on section 47 of the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988, the owner of the vehicle needed to re-register to the new state if s/he wanted to drive the car in another state. Be that as it may, as per the new Bharat series number plate, you are not required to undertake any sort of registration. It is possible to access all the information regarding the car from anywhere in the country.
