For vehicle owners in Manipur, frequent relocations across states often result in a lengthy and tiring re-registration process. Working professionals face numerous RTO visits, costly state-specific road taxes, and repetitive documentation each time their jobs require them to move to new locations.
Recognising these challenges, India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) launched the BH (Bharat) series number plate in 2021, transforming vehicle ownership across state boundaries.
Here’s the step-by-step process for BH registration using the VAHAN portal online:
Once the application and documents are checked, the BH series registration number will be issued.

Key Notes:
The Bharat (BH) series, introduced to simplify interstate vehicle transfers, allows owners to pay road tax in flexible instalments. The instalments are due every two years during the first 14 years of registration and annually thereafter.

For people living in Manipur who frequently relocate for work or other reasons, BH number plates address many common problems. Here are the main benefits of BH number plates for Manipur residents:
A BH registration number does not change how your vehicle insurance premium is calculated. As elsewhere in India, motor insurance providers in Manipur determine premiums based on factors such as the vehicle’s make and model, age, engine size, and the driver’s claim history.
If you convert your vehicle’s registration in Manipur to a BH series plate or relocate from the state, you must inform your insurance company. Updating your insurer ensures your policy records remain accurate and prevents any breach of terms due to unreported changes in registration.
The Bharat or BH Series number plate is a smart solution for today’s modern lifestyle. If your profession requires frequent relocation, the BH series ensures nationwide validity, streamlined tax payments, and minimal paperwork.
Applying through the Vahan portal or your dealer makes the process even more seamless. In short, it’s a choice that saves time, reduces costs, and guarantees proper hassle-free mobility anywhere in India.
