The BH (Bharat) number plate offers several advantages for vehicle owners in India, including hassle-free interstate transfers, simplified registration, and cost savings.
Here are eight key benefits:
1. Uniform Registration
The BH series provides a uniform registration mark valid across all states in India,
eliminating the need for re-registration when moving to a different state.
2. Easy-to-Understand Format
The number plate follows the format: YY BH #### XX.
“YY” represents the year of registration, “BH” stands for Bharat, “####” is a random four-digit number, and “XX” are the two letters of the state/Union Territory code.
3. Broad Eligibility
This number plate is available to employees of the central and state government, public sector undertakings, defense personnel,
and employees of private sector companies with offices in at least four states or Union Territories.
4. Flexible Tax Structure
The road tax is levied every two years instead of a one-time payment for 15 years,
reducing the financial burden and making tax payments periodic.
5. Simplified Vehicle Transfer
There is no need for a no-objection certificate (NOC) or other state-specific formalities,
simplifying the process of transferring vehicles between states.
6. Voluntary Adoption
Opting for the BH series is voluntary,
allowing vehicle owners to choose between the BH number plate and traditional state-specific registration.
7. Applicable to Various Vehicle Types
The BH number plate is applicable to both private and commercial vehicles,
offering versatility for a wide range of vehicle owners.
8. Enhanced Convenience
Designed to reduce bureaucratic hurdles, the BH number plate promotes ease of mobility for citizens
and fosters national integration by simplifying vehicle registration and transfer processes.
