HIGH SECURITY REGISTRATION PLATES


It has come to the notice of Central Government that some advertisements have appeared in the newspapers inviting individuals to come forward for being considered as franchise holders by the manufacturers/suppliers/vendors of high security registration plates. It is hereby clarified for the information of everyone that so far no high security registration plate has yet been approved by any of the authorized testing agencies of the Central Government.

All new vehicles to be registered on and after 30th June 2002 shall mandatorily be fitted with such plates. In case of vehicles registered before 30th June 2002, a time period of two years from 30th June 2002 would be allowed to change over to the new high security registration plates.
