The Road and Transport Ministry has said that a vehicle bearing a BH-series registration mark will not require the assignment of a new registration mark if the owner shifts from one state or UT to another.
The new vehicle registration regime will free vehicle owners from the re-registration process when they shift from one state/union territory to another. In order to ensure seamless transfer of personal vehicles across states and union territories (UTs), the Centre on Saturday introduced a new registration mark for new vehicles under the Bharat Series (BH-series). In a statement, the Road and Transport Ministry said that the new scheme will free the owners from re-registration of their vehicles if they shift from one state or UT to another.
“This vehicle registration facility under ‘Bharat series (BH-series)’ will be available on voluntary basis to defense personnel, employees of central government/ state government/ central/ state public sector undertakings and private sector companies/organisations, which have their offices in four or more states/union territories,” the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) said in a statement.
This scheme, it said, will facilitate free movement of personal vehicles across states/union territories of India upon relocation.
The statement further said that an IT-based solution for vehicle registration is one such effort as “one of the pain points in the vehicle registration process that needed attention was re-registration of a vehicle while moving to another state”.
