The central government has taken a significant step towards doing away with the practice of changing registration numbers if a vehicle is shifted from one state to another.
A new series of registration numbers has been introduced by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
The Ministry, vide notification dated August 26, has introduced a new registration mark, Bharat series (BH-series), for new vehicles. A vehicle bearing this registration mark shall not require the assignment of a new registration mark when the owner shifts from one state to another and takes the vehicle along.
Format of BH-series registration Mark will be YY BH #### XX (YY for year of first registration, BH is Code for Bharat Series, #### is the randomized four-digit number and XX are two alphabets).
