Shifting from one state to another can turn into a stressful experience, especially when you are a vehicle owner, and when it comes to re- registration of cars. Frequent relocations across the country often bring excitement, new opportunities, and fresh beginnings and as well the stress. The Ministry of Road and Transport introduced the BH series number plates in 2021 and designed them for professionals who often move out for work. Only a specific group of people can apply for the BH Series number plate, as eligibility is defined by the government. Introduced in 2021, the Bharat (BH) Series number plate system was created with a specific purpose. Why was this special registration launched? We’ll explain everything in detail. Before that, it’s important to note that the BH Series is available only for private vehicles and not for commercial ones.
BH Series Number Plate: Eligibility
Not everyone gets the BH series number plate. If you want to get, you must fall under these categories
- Employees working under the Central or State Government
- Members of the defence forces
- Staff of banks and other public sector undertakings
- Private sector employees whose organisations operate in a minimum of four states or Union Territories
BH Number Plate Series: Benefits
You can take your vehicle anywhere in India without any restrictions. Employees are exempt from the hassle of re-registration within one year. This makes it an ideal option for individuals in transferable roles, such as government staff or employees of companies with offices across several states.
Documents required
Employees would need a PAN Card, an Aadhar Card, an official employee ID, and Form 60 (Working Certificate) issued by the employer.
