Maharashtrahas recorded maximum registrations — around 34% — of the total BH (Bharat)-series number plates registered around the country, latest statistics showed.
Said state transport commissionerAvinash Dhakne, This special number plate is beneficial for vehicle owners who have to move from one state to another which includes government as well as private jobs. It enables vehicle owners to avoid various registration issues faced earlier due to the inter-state shifting. In fact, the BH-series number plate registrations crossed the 1,000 mark in the state this week.
While Maharashtra issued 1,017 BH-number plates since it launched in October end last year,Odishaissued 444, Delhi 382, Rajasthan 326 and Uttar Pradesh 229. The total number of number plates issued in the country were 2,960, the statistics showed.
Until now, according to the Motor Vehicle Act 1988, a vehicle registered in a state when kept in another state for a period of more than 12 months is subject to the assignment of new registration. The registration process which was tedious in nature, has now been done away with after the launch of BH-series.
