Your BH registration will expire after two years. If you register your car with the BH series number plate, you'll only need to pay road tax for the first 2 years after the purchase. After that, you'll need to pay road tax every 2 years. You can pay this road tax on the official e-vahan website.
The cost of the BH series number plate is based on the price of the vehicle. For example, if the vehicle costs lie between Rs. 10 - 20 lakh, the registration fee for the BH series number plate will be 10% of the total vehicle cost.
The BH (Bharat) number plate is designed for individuals who frequently move across states, such as government and private sector employees, offering seamless interstate vehicle mobility without re-registration. Initially valid for two years, the BH number plate requires renewal every two years thereafter. In contrast, normal number plates are state-specific, necessitating re-registration and new road tax payments when the vehicle owner relocates to a different state, thus lacking the BH plate's flexibility and convenience.
