Satej Patil, minister of state for Transport, Home and Information Technology, said that BH-series registration has started in Maharashtra from Monday and people can now take their cars and relocate from one state to another.
“BH-series registration has been started in Maharashtra. Now you can take the delivery of your car happily before Diwali and enjoy a long drive from one state to another without any hassle. @CMOMaharashtra @advanilparab,” Patil tweeted on Monday.
In order to free vehicle owners from the hassle of procuring an NOC from the current state and then re-registering the vehicle in the next state while relocating, the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had earlier notified the Bharat series or “BH” series of registration which people can opt for.
Until now, according to the Motor Vehicle Act 1988, a vehicle registered in a state when kept in another state for a period of more than 12 months is subject to assignment of new registration. The registration process which was tedious in nature, has now been done away with after the launch of BH-series.
This means when a person is to relocate to another state taking his vehicle along, he or she had to first get an NOC from the parent state where the vehicle is currently registered.
