The government has announced a host of IT-based solutions for vehicle registration which includes the introduction of a new registration mark for new vehicles Bharat series (BH-series). Vehicles bearing the BH mark would not require a new registration mark when the owner shifts from one state to another.

Currently, a vehicle owner is allowed to keep the vehicle for not more than 12 months in any state other than the state where the vehicle is registered. A new registration is required to do so which should be done within a period of 12 months.

Moreover, the cumbersome process to register the vehicle involves documents including No Objection Certificate from the parent state, assignment of new registration mark after payment of road tax on pro-rata basis along with the application of refund of road tax from the parent state.
