The Gautam Budh Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh has almost seven lakh registered vehicles, of which a total of 1,60,000 have the high-security number plates. This means a total of 21 per cent of the vehicles have been the high-security registration plates in the district, so far.
Now the transport officer of Gautam Budh Nagar has given a deadline for all vehicles in the district to get the high-security number plates. After April 15, 2021, vehicles that won't have the high-security number plates will invite a fine.
How to get HSRP?
Old vehicles need to do online booking for getting the high-security number plates. New vehicles can get it from their dealers.
Gautam Buddh Nagar RTO official AK Pandey said that the government has ordered that all are required to have the high-security number plates by April 15, else they would be fined Rs 5,000.
What is a high-security registration plate?
HSRPs will be an aluminium plate with a hologram on it. These holograms will have a laser-branded permanent identification number, which cannot be copied. The colour-coded stickers would be meant to identify vehicles based on their fuel type. But what is interesting is that these stickers will include details like the registration number, the registering authority, a laser-branded PIN, and the engine and chassis numbers of the vehicle.
