BHseries number system i.e. Bharat Series Number Plate System was implemented in India in August 2021. This is a system of registration of vehicles. This is useful for those people who keep shifting to different states. Currently available for private vehicles, cars, two-wheeler private electric vehicles etc.
Nitin Kumar, Head-Motor Insurance, Policybazaar.com: “With the BH series one not only avoids the process of re-registration but also gets rid of the different road taxes of different states. Apart from this, for those who need to frequently transfer to different states, vehicles can be registered in another state without changing the number plates and without any hassle. BH series number registration is available only when you buy a new car and insurance will have to be purchased accordingly. Apart from this, it is not necessary to update your car insurance policy when you move a BH series car to a new state. If you move to a new city or state, your existing insurance policy will be valid there too.”
The process and coverage for BH series vehicles is similar to regular vehicle insurance. One can search for insurance policies online on insurance portals or insurance aggregators for a hassle-free and transparent experience. You just have to provide your registration number. Your premium will be decided based on the make and model of the car, expiry date, NCB, other key details and the type of plan you choose. BH series number plate does not make any difference to car insurance premium. There is neither any discount nor any additional fee to be paid on this type of number plate. Once you pay the premium, you will receive the insurance policy documents online.
The main reason for starting BHseries is to provide convenience to the employees of PSU and private sector companies which have offices in 4 or more states. Through this series, one registration is valid in the entire state. A vehicle registered under the BH series will have to pay tax every 2 years to the state where it is present.
