The state government has introduced a strict policy allowing authorities to seize BH-series vehicles immediately if tax dues remain unpaid, aiming to curb tax evasion.
The Maharashtra government has rolled out a new enforcement measure that permits authorities to seize BH-series vehicles on sight when tax payments are outstanding.
Under the policy, any BH-series vehicle registered in the state can be confiscated without prior notice if the owner fails to clear the required taxes. The move is part of a broader effort to strengthen revenue collection and deter tax evasion.
The revenue department will monitor tax compliance and can act swiftly to seize vehicles that have not settled their dues. Vehicle owners are advised to review their tax status and pay any pending amounts to avoid seizure.
This directive underscores the state's commitment to ensuring timely tax payments and maintaining the integrity of its vehicle registration system.
