HSRP number plate guide: booking, fees, deadlines and plate rules
An HSRP number plate is the tamper-proof aluminium registration plate with a chromium hologram, a laser-etched code and snap-lock rivets. Vehicles made from 1 April 2019 get it from the dealer. Owners of older vehicles book it online through the portal linked from their state transport department, pay the fee and get it fitted at a centre or at home.
Key takeaways
- New vehicles made on or after 1 April 2019 come with an HSRP fitted by the dealer.
- Older vehicles need a state order; each state sets its own last date and fine.
- Maharashtra's extended deadline was 30 June 2026, with a ₹1,000 fine from 1 July 2026.
- Book only through the link on your state transport department website, never through roadside agents.
- Keep your RC, chassis and engine digits ready; the booking checks them against Vahan.
- Plate colour, size and font are fixed by law, so stylish or sticker plates are not allowed.

What is an HSRP number plate?
An HSRP number plate (High Security Registration Plate) is an aluminium plate with embossed characters, a chromium hologram, a laser-etched identification number and one-time snap locks. For the full meaning of the term, see our HSRP meaning guide.
What the plate is made of
The plate is a thin aluminium sheet with a reflective film. Letters and digits are pressed into the metal, so they cannot be painted over or peeled off like a sticker.
Who supplies it
New vehicles get the plate from the manufacturer through the dealer. For older vehicles, states appoint authorised vendors, and booking happens online through the state’s HSRP link.
Is a high security number plate mandatory for every vehicle?
A high security number plate is mandatory on every vehicle manufactured on or after 1 April 2019, under the 2018 amendment to Rule 50 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. For older vehicles, it applies once your state issues an order.
Vehicles made after April 2019
Here the manufacturer supplies the HSRP and the third registration mark, and the dealer fits both before delivery. You do not book anything yourself.
Older vehicles and state orders
States such as Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka, Telangana and Odisha have ordered owners of pre-2019 vehicles to switch. Each order sets its own last date and penalty, so the answer differs by state.
Which security features does a high security number plate have?
Every high security number plate carries six features that make copying hard: a chromium hologram, a laser-etched permanent number, the letters IND, a retro-reflective film, embossed characters and snap-lock rivets.
Hologram and laser code
The chromium hologram of the Ashoka Chakra sits at the top left. The laser-etched code is unique to each plate and is recorded against your registration number, which is how police can tell a genuine plate from a copy.
Reflective film and IND mark
A retro-reflective film carries a faint India inscription at an angle, visible when light hits it. The letters IND are printed in light blue near the hologram.
What is the HSRP hologram sticker?
The HSRP hologram sticker is the third registration mark: a colour-coded sticker with a hologram, the registration number, the engine and chassis numbers and the laser code. It breaks if peeled off.
Third registration mark colours
The colour shows the fuel type. As reported from the MoRTH order of October 2018, petrol and CNG vehicles get a light blue sticker and diesel vehicles get orange. Other fuel types fall in a separate category.
Where it goes and who needs it
Cars and other four-wheelers fix it on the inside top left of the windscreen. Two-wheelers have no windscreen, so in most states they get only the front and rear plates.
How to get high security number plate online?
To get high security number plate fitment for an older vehicle, open the HSRP link on your state transport department’s website, enter the vehicle details, choose a fitment slot and pay online.
- Open your state’s HSRP portal. Start from the state transport department website and follow its HSRP booking link.
- Enter vehicle details. Type the registration number and the last five chassis and engine digits from the RC.
- Choose fitment. Pick a dealer or fitment centre and a time slot, or home fitment where offered.
- Pay the fee online. Pay by UPI, card or net banking and save the order receipt.
- Get the plate fitted. Visit on the slot date, check the laser code against the receipt and watch the snap locks go on.
How to register for HSRP number plate on a car
To register for HSRP number plate booking on a car, select four-wheeler and fuel type. The order then includes the front and rear plates and the colour-coded windscreen sticker.
Booking for a two-wheeler
Select two-wheeler. You pay the lower two-wheeler rate, and the order covers the front and rear plates only.
Which HSRP number plate documents are required?
You need the registration certificate (RC) details, not uploads, in most states: the registration number, the last five digits of the chassis and engine numbers, a working mobile number for the OTP and a way to pay online.
Details taken from the RC
The portal checks what you type against the Vahan record. If the chassis or engine digits do not match, booking stops. Our guide to the chassis number meaning shows where to find it on the vehicle.
When the mobile number on the RC is old
Some portals send the OTP to the mobile number in the vehicle record. If it is out of date, update it through Vahan first, then return to the booking.
What is the HSRP number plate last date?
There is no single national HSRP number plate last date for old vehicles. Each state sets its own deadline in its order and often extends it. Maharashtra’s final extended date was 30 June 2026; Telangana’s order set 30 September 2025.
Why the HSRP last date keeps changing
States extend the HSRP last date when too few owners have booked or when vendors cannot meet demand. Always read the latest notice on your state transport website.
What happens after the date
After the deadline, traffic police and RTO flying squads can fine vehicles without HSRP. Some states also hold back RTO services such as ownership transfer until the plate is fitted. Changes are tracked on our HSRP number plate rule page.

3 star number plate
A 3 star number plate marks a three-star rank, which in the Indian Army is a lieutenant general, with equivalent ranks in the navy and air force.
Blue number plate with star
A blue number plate with star is not a recognised Indian plate type. Diplomatic plates are blue but carry letters, not stars. Military vehicles are covered on our army number plate page.
What is a TC number on a plate?
A TC number on a plate means trade certificate. These white-on-red plates are issued to manufacturers, dealers and testing agencies to move unregistered vehicles, and include the letters TC in the number. They are valid for up to five years.

Dealers use them for test drives and transport of new stock. The certificate is issued by the RTO; our trade certificate guide explains the process.

What is a DT number plate?
A DT number plate is not a state or union territory code in India’s registration system. People sometimes search it after seeing DT on a dealer or temporary plate, or on a plate from abroad. To identify any number, check it on Vahan.
Common reasons people see DT
DT may be part of a series letter pair on a normal plate, such as MH 12 DT 1234, where DT is just the series.
How to check a doubtful plate
Search the full number on Vahan or our vehicle registration details guide to see the registering RTO.
UA number plate India: which state was it?
A UA number plate India search refers to Uttaranchal. UA was the state’s code from 22 November 2000 to 31 October 2007; after the state was renamed Uttarakhand, new vehicles got UK plates.
Do UA plates need changing?
No. A vehicle registered with UA keeps its number for life. When the owner fits an HSRP, the plate still shows UA.
Where to find more state codes
The full list of codes and their states is in our Maharashtra state code page, which covers all states.
Which state uses the ML code, and which city uses CH?

New Delhi RTO code
The New Delhi RTO code is DL 2, the Tilak Marg office, according to RTO directories.

TN22 RTO
TN22 is one of the Chennai RTO codes.
IND number plate Chennai

TNG number plate: what does it mean?
A TNG number plate search usually refers to Tamil Nadu government vehicles. In Tamil Nadu, the series letter G is reserved for government vehicles, so a number such as TN 60 AG 3333 belongs to a government department.
How to read a TN plate with G
The G sits in the series part after the RTO number. It is not a separate state code.
Bangalore number plate and Hyderabad number plate codes
A Bangalore number plate starts with KA and one of the city RTO numbers: KA 01 Koramangala, KA 02 Rajajinagar, KA 03 Indiranagar, KA 04 Yeshwanthpur and KA 05 Jayanagar, among others. A Hyderabad number plate starts with TG for new vehicles, or TS for older ones.
Car number plate Bangalore
A car number plate in Bangalore shows KA and the RTO where it was registered, not where the owner lives now.
Telangana no plate and Hyderabad
A Telangana no plate issued since March 2024 uses TG. Hyderabad has several RTOs; check the code on our TS number plate page.
JP, GH, BA and BG number plate: are these Indian codes?
JP, GH, BA and BG are not state or union territory codes in India. A JP number plate or JP registration search may refer to a foreign plate or series letters; a GH number plate and a BG number plate are not used in India; a BA number plate may be from Nepal’s older zone-based plates.
How to treat unfamiliar letters
If the letters come after a state code (such as KA 05 BG 1234), they are just the series.
How to get vehicle details?
To get vehicle details from a number plate, use the Vahan citizen services or the mParivahan app. You see the model, registration date, fuel and the RTO; owner names are partly masked. See our vehicle registration details guide.
How to vehicle details on a phone
The search how to vehicle details means the same thing. Open mParivahan, enter the number and you get the RC summary in seconds. For bikes, see our bike no check guide.
Registration list and 11 registration number
A registration list of all vehicles is not published for privacy reasons. An 11 registration number search is unclear; it may mean an 11-character number, which a full Indian number such as MH12AB1234 roughly matches.
Vehicle number booking: can you choose your number?
Yes. Vehicle number booking lets you pick a specific or fancy number for a fee during new registration, through the state’s online auction or booking system on Parivahan. Car number booking works the same way. Prices are on our VIP number plate price page.
When to book
Book a number before the dealer files registration, or the next number in line is given automatically.
BH series option
Eligible employees can choose the BH series; see our BH number plate guide.
What does a number plate series mean?
A number plate series is the one to three letters after the RTO number, such as AB in MH 12 AB 1234. Each RTO issues numbers 1 to 9999 in one series, then moves to the next letters, skipping I and O.
Reading a full number
State code, RTO number, series, then the number: MH 12 AB 1234 is a Pune RTO number in series AB.
Where do you get a high security number plate fitted?
A high security number plate is fitted at the dealer or authorised centre you choose when booking, or at home where offered. A “number plate fitting near me” search should lead back to the state portal; local shops cannot fit genuine HSRP.
Fitting centres and home fitment
The portal lists centres by pin code; bring the RC and receipt. Where available, home fitment costs extra and is booked in the same order.
Parivahan number plate: what does the portal handle?
A Parivahan number plate search covers what the national portal does: registration, vehicle details and fancy number booking on Vahan. HSRP booking itself is handled through state links and vendors, though the plate’s laser code is linked to the vehicle record. Home: Parivahan Sewa.
What Parivahan does not do
Parivahan does not make or sell plates. Avoid sites selling HSRP in its name.
Online number plate registration
Online number plate registration for HSRP is through your state’s link; registration of the vehicle itself is on Vahan.
Gadi ka number plate kaise milta hai?
Gadi ka number plate for a new vehicle is fitted by the dealer after registration. For an old vehicle, the HSRP is booked online. Gadi ke number plate rules are the same across India.
Purani gadi ke liye HSRP

Is an HSRP number plate compulsory for old vehicles?
It depends on your state. The central rule covers vehicles made from 1 April 2019. For older vehicles, states issue their own orders with a last date, so check your transport department's notice.
How much does an HSRP cost?
Rates are set by each state's contract. In Maharashtra the rate is ₹450 for two-wheelers, ₹500 for three-wheelers and ₹745 for cars, plus GST.
Can I fit an HSRP myself?
No. Only the authorised vendor fixes the plate with snap-lock rivets, which break if removed. A plate you fix with screws will not pass a check.
What if my HSRP breaks or is stolen?
File a police report for a stolen plate, then book a replacement through the same state portal. Damaged plates are replaced through the same booking route.
Do electric vehicles need an HSRP?
Yes. Electric vehicles also get HSRP, with white text on a green plate for private vehicles.
Is home fitment of HSRP available?
Some states and vendors offer home fitment at an extra charge. The option, if offered, appears when you pick a fitment slot.
Will I be fined if I booked but the plate is not fitted yet?
In Maharashtra, owners who booked before the deadline were reported to get relief until the fitment date. Keep the booking receipt in the vehicle and confirm locally.
Is bookmyhsrp the official site?
It is the booking portal used for Delhi and several other states, according to news reports. To be safe, open it from the link on your state transport department's site.
Are fancy fonts allowed on an HSRP?
No. HSRP letters are embossed in a fixed style by the maker. Fonts, logos or extra words on the plate are not allowed.
Does a BH series vehicle get an HSRP?
Yes. BH series vehicles are new registrations, so they come with an HSRP from the dealer like any other new vehicle.
