16 Nov Maharashtra Number Plate Rules
By April 2019, all vehicles sold will have to be equipped with high-security license plates capable of scanning for theft alarms, according to the Department of Road Traffic and Highways. The Delhi Department of Transport has started fining vehicles without HSRP or color-coded fuel stickers. An amount of Rs 10,000 is to be imposed for this offence, but the penalty has been increased to Rs 5,500, given the time it takes people to get used to the new rules on license plates. In order to combat vehicle theft and standardize their identity markings, the EU government made the HSRP mandatory for every newly registered vehicle from 1 April 2019 and required manufacturers to affix these license plates to every new vehicle before handing them over to customers. Foreign mission vehicles bear UN, CD or CC licence plates, which stand for United Nations, Diplomatic Corps or Consular Corps. A diplomatic license plate with the number 13 CC xxxx would refer to country 13, probably a country near the letter A or B. For example, a vehicle numbered 77 CD xxxx in India refers to a vehicle owned either by the U.S. Mission in India or by an individual working with the Mission. Other numbers include special numbers assigned to public transport such as buses, taxis and automatic rickshaws. The numbers are registered by the organization operating the services and are usually printed on the side of the vehicle. This mechanism is used for unique identification. In Andhra Pradesh, the RTO follows the auction system for unique numbers. The highest bidder receives the number.
Numbers like 0909 0999 0099 0009 are always in high demand and numbers like 0786 have a high premium and a maximum number of bidders for the auction. The traffic department of the trade union government has issued new guidelines for displaying license plates on vehicles. Here`s what you need to know about the new license plate rules: Also read: Types of license plates in India and their meaning Military vehicles have a unique numbering system like no other license plate number. The numbers are registered by the Ministry of Defence in New Delhi. The first (or third) character is an up arrow. This is called the Broad Arrow, whose origins lie in the British Office of Ordnance and are still used in many parts of the British Commonwealth for various army items, not just vehicles. The next two digits (or the two digits following the arrow) indicate the year in which the military purchased the vehicle. The next is the base code, followed by the serial number.
The letter ending after the serial number indicates the category of the vehicle (e.g. ↑10A266162W). (2) The number and size of letters for all vehicles shall be indicated in the brochure for each category. 3. Vehicles have red license plates at a dealership. Vehicles with engines of less than 70 cc should have a registration plate with a font height of 15 mm and a width of 2.5 mm. The distance between each letter and each number must be at least 2.5 mm. For 500cc vehicles or tricycles, the font height must be 35mm and the width 7mm. These vehicles shall be spaced at least 5 mm apart between each letter and each number. In the early 2000s, the license plate colour changed from white on black (BMU 7711) to black on white (BMU 7711) for non-commercial private vehicles and from black on white (BMU 7711) to black on yellow (BMU 7711) for all other vehicles. The use of the old color scheme was declared illegal after a period during which both styles were tolerated. In Uttarakhand, the 0001 and 0786 numbers have the highest fee of ₹50,000.
The number of districts in the state does not have to be equal to the number of permutations in the district field of the license plate. In large cities, the geographic district can often be divided into two or more managed regions, each managed by an OTR. One housing is Bengaluru with panel bearings KA01, KA02, KA03, KA04, KA05, KA41, KA50, KA51, KA53, KA59. When all 9999 numbers are exhausted, the RTO adds the letter A before the digital space so that more numbers can be supported. In some states, both letters also indicate the description of the make of the vehicle. Maharashtra has announced plans to introduce new license plates soon. [15] The last four digits are specific to the vehicle. Usually, the last 100 numbers are government-registered numbers, but this is not always the case.
Special “lucky numbers” (also called fancy numbers) such as 3333 or 6666 earn a reward and can exceed ₹1,00,000. For vehicles not falling into this category, the font height of the registration plates (front and rear) shall be 65 mm, with a width of 10 mm and a distance of 10 mm between each letter and each number. In addition, the registration plate of the vehicle must not bear symbols, names or stickers. It is made of aluminum and is attached to the vehicle by non-removable chrome locks. The license plate in the left corner shows a hologram of the Ashoka Chakra, which is embossed warm blue on the surface. It measures 20mm x 20mm. A laser-engraved 10-digit PIN (permanent identification number) is laser engraved in the lower left corner of the plate. Another official told PTI that some vehicle dealers ignore the HSRP rule and hand over new vehicles to customers without putting those license plates on the vehicles, which is mandatory. 1. The temporary licence plates of newly registered vehicles are yellow. There will also be new rules for license plates of BS6 vehicles in India: In Madhya Pradesh, the numbering system is similar to other states, with a few exceptions: MP 01 and MP 02 are reserved for the state government, while MP 03 is reserved for the police. The other vehicles are homologated in the RTO from MP 04.
In Madhya Pradesh, agricultural vehicles are numbered A-series (e.g. AA, AB, AC, etc.), large cars with B, small cars with C, special vehicles such as ambulances, cranes, etc. with D, medium-sized trucks with G, heavy vehicles with H, small trucks with L, motorcycles with M, passenger buses with P, passenger cars of R, scooters of S, taxis of T and passengers of E, F, I, J, K, N, Q, U to Z. By law, a vehicle must have its license plate on the front and rear. All license plates must be in modern Arabic numerals with Latin letters. In short, a vehicle`s registration plate must be legible and clearly visible. However, as we Indians love to decorate everything we own, the license plate of a vehicle is no exception. To combat the problem of stolen vehicles, police have started using redesigned license plates or TGVs.
These PRSS are more difficult to handle and easier to identify, resulting in fewer cases of stolen vehicles. In addition, the High Security Licensing Program (HSRP) also makes car theft more difficult by recording the engine and chassis number details of each vehicle in a single, centralized database. This data, combined with the 10-digit PIN, ensures easy identification in case of theft of a car; It can be easily found. Once a vehicle is purchased, the vehicle`s dealer issues a temporary driver`s license sticker, colloquially called the TR (To Register) number.
