HSRP Number Plates Mandatory For J&K Vehicles: What is HSRP Number Plate? Know Benefits, Purchase Price, Online Application Here

Vehicles sold in India after April 2019 come with high security number plates from the dealer’s end and the cost of HSRP is included in the price of the vehicle. But for the vehicles sold before April 2019, vehicle owners will have to contact automobile dealership or government authorized HSRP vendors and pay a marginal amount to obtain a high security registration plate.

HSRP:

HSRP is an aluminum-made “high-security registration plate”  which is fixed on a vehicle using two non-reusable locks.  A chromium-based hologram of Ashoka Chakra of 20 mm x 20 mm size is applied by hot stamping on the top left-hand corner of the plate in both front and rear plates to protect against counterfeiting.

The permanent identification number (PIN) of a minimum of 10 digits is laser branded into the reflective sheeting on the bottom left-hand side of the registration plate with a letter size of 5 mm. The HSRP is linked electronically to the vehicle after its affixture on the vehicle on registration.

Benefits of HSRP:

1. The conventional and old number plates are very easy to tamper with and can be changed quite easily. Usually, the first thing most thieves do after stealing a vehicle is to replace the registration plate, making it difficult for the police and authorities to track that stolen vehicle. But HSRP’s come with non-removable snap-on locks and are difficult to replace.
2. HSRP’s are affixed by automobile dealers and private vendors approved by the state authorities. These plates are issued only after the vehicle owner provides with information like engine number, chassis number, etc. This is a crucial step in preventing counterfeiting of high security registration plates.
3. Another benefit of HSRP is that the details of a car, like engine number, chassis number, etc. are stored in a centralized database. This information, along with the 10-digit PIN, helps the authorities to identify a stolen vehicle.
4. Some vehicle owners use different font and styles for the registration plates, making it difficult for the traffic police to comprehend the registration number of a vehicle. However, the HSRPs have a uniform pattern of displaying motor vehicle registration number, therefore addressing the issue of ‘incomprehensible’ vehicle registration plates.

 

The Motor Vehicle Owners were, therefore required to affix the same in their respective vehicles by or
before 16th September, 2017.

Time and again public notices in this regard have been given by the Traffic Police Department / Motor Vehicles Department for affixation of the HSRP. However, it has observed that number of motor vehicles are still plying on road without affixing mandatory HSRP and is therefore violating orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court/Department.

Accordingly, a final notice is given to the owners of all motor vehicles to ensure affixation of HSRP in their motor vehicles from the authorized vendors by or before 15th” of May, 2022.

Any default in this regard shall be treated as willful violation by the concerned motor vehicle owner and may lead to the seizure and black listing of the defaulting vehicle.
