Change To BH Number Plates Now Open for the Vehicle Owners of West Bengal!

The Bengal government recently announced an easier process for car owners to switch to BH series licence plates. This change is part of nationwide efforts to improve traffic flow, especially for drivers travelling between states. The BH series started in 2021. It provides benefits for government workers, private employees, military members, and others.

What Is The BH Series?

The BH series number plates were developed to reduce the allowance of cross-state movement in the same car without re-registration. Such series are useful for sparing time and paperwork, for persons who change residence for the job, or for any other reason frequently.

What Is The New Update?

Earlier, the West Bengal Transport Department used to permit only new vehicles to be registered under the BH series. However, as of the most current order passed in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) the people of Bengal can apply to change their existing registration to the BH series. This can be done through the website provided that the client meets the requirements provided by the authorities.

What Are The Key Points to Consider?

  • Tax Adjustments: If you need BH series, be ready to pay taxes at a specified rate. Any additional tax that has been paid under the regular series will be credited. However, refunds for any remaining tax amount to the seller will not be made in this connection.

  • Eligibility Criteria: Ensure your car complies with all the conditions set by the MoRTH in its notification. This is required for the guidance of your registration to the BH series.

  • Application Process: The BH series number plates can be applied for through the MoRTH’s Vahan portal or through automobile dealers who have been licensed. The registration number will be issued randomly after you have been registered and your application has been accepted.

What Is The Pricing Structure For The BH Series Number Plates?

The cost of having a BH series number plate also depends on the invoice value of the car that you intend to fit the number plate on. Normally it is between 8% to 12% of the cost of a vehicle. It is important to note that there are extra fees involved if the client owns a diesel car while for an electric car, there are certain offers.

Conclusion

It is now easier than before for vehicle owners in Bengal to switch to the new BH series number plates. Such a change is even more interesting to those who rather often switch states between two places, for example, for work. To make the transition, one has to visit the website, click on the apply for an account button and follow the standard protocols.
