Benefits
If you register your vehicle under the regular number plate in state ‘X’ and later move to state ‘Y’, the vehicle will only be allowed to be used for 12 months without re-registering in the new state. After that, you will need to re-register the vehicle.
Here, the role of the Bharat number plate comes in. It disposes of the need for re-registering the vehicle when relocating to a new state or union territory, saving your efforts, paperwork, and time. It is valid across the country.
How To Apply?
— You can apply for a Bharat Number Plate by yourself through MoRTH’s Vahan portal or seek assistance from the dealer where you purchased the vehicle.
— The dealer will fill out Form 20 on the Vahan portal on your behalf.
— Private sector employees need to submit Form 60 (Working Certificate) and an official employee ID card.

— The Regional Transport Office (RTO) will verify the eligibility of the vehicle owner and approve the BH series number plate accordingly.
