When is the BH Series Plate Useful?

If you live in a place where you have to go through more than two states to go to work, or if you are in a transferable job where you have to stay in another state every 2–3 years, then a BH series number plate can be beneficial for you. What is this BH series number plate? Who gets it? How do you get it? What are its benefits? And is there any loss? Today in Paesa Vasool, the answers to these questions.

What Kind of Vehicles Get the BH Plate?

BH number plates are only available to new private vehicles. They are not available for commercial vehicles.

How to Identify a BH Plate?

It is very easy to recognize them; they look exactly like the normal number plates. The only difference is that the numbering is done in a slightly different way. On this number plate, you will see "BH" written, which means Bharat (India). Along with this, the registration number of the vehicle is written after this, and then the category of the vehicle is also given in this.

What is the Format of a BH Series Number Plate?

If we talk about its format, then it has:

• The year of registration,

• Then "BH" i.e., Bharat series,

• Then a 4-digit registration number,

And finally two alphabets that tell the category of the vehicle, which can be from A to Z.

For example, if the number of any car is 22BH9999AA,

This means that this vehicle has been registered in the Bharat series in 2022. The next four numbers are the registration number and then the vehicle category.

So then you will ask: In the normal number plate, only the state code is written. So what is special about this?

Special Benefits of the BH Number Plate

So the special thing is some of its benefits.

This number plate is valid across the country. And when you go to another state, you don't have to register your car again.

Apart from this, you are saved from a big problem. Actually, with normal number plates, if you move to another state, then within 12 months, you have to change your car's registration number. If you don’t change this, you break road rules, and this can even invalidate your car insurance claim.

But if you have taken a BH number plate, then you don’t have to worry about such things — because when you move to another state, you don’t need to change your registration number.

Road Tax Structure for BH Number Plate

When you buy a normal car, you have to pay 15 years’ worth of road tax at once.

This road tax depends on:

• The height of the vehicle,
• Its engine capacity,

And its type.

Whereas, with a BH series number plate vehicle, you only pay road tax for two years at a time, and then every two years after that.

In the case of BH series number plate vehicles, the road tax is calculated after deducting GST from the price of the vehicle.
