- The Ministry of Road Transport and Highway has announced new regulations to broaden the application of the BH series car registrations.

Bharat series (BH-series)
- When moving to a different state, a car has to be re-registered.
- When the owner of a vehicle changes States, a vehicle with the BH registration mark does not need to be assigned a new registration mark.
Format of Bharat series (BH-series) Registration Mark –
- Registration Mark Format:
- YY BH #### XX
- YY – Year of first registration
- BH- Code for Bharat Series
- ####- 0000 to 9999 (randomized)
- XX- Alphabets (AA to ZZ)
Reasons for such move
- Changing stations happens to personnel in the public and private sectors.
- When it comes to the transfer of registration from the parent state to another state, such movements make these employees feel uneasy.
- A person is only permitted to maintain a vehicle in a state other than the one in which it is registered for a maximum of 12 months under section 47 of the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988.
Who can get this BH series?
- Defense personnel, employees of the Central Government, State Government, Central/State PSUs, and private sector businesses/organizations will all have access to the BH-series on a voluntary basis.
- The motor vehicle tax is imposed for a period of two years or a multiple of two years.
- As soon as a person relocates to a new State or UT in India, this scheme will enable unrestricted personal vehicle transportation between such States/UTs.
- A motor vehicle tax equal to half of what was previously assessed for that vehicle will be imposed yearly after the completion of the fourteenth year.
