Motorists in Maharashtra who have not yet affixed high-security registration plates (HSRP) to their vehicles will face a penalty of Rs 1,000 starting tomorrow. The deadline for this mandatory compliance has now passed.
Authorities in Maharashtra are set to enforce a penalty of Rs 1,000 on vehicle owners who have failed to comply with the mandate to install high-security registration plates (HSRP). This enforcement action is scheduled to begin tomorrow, following the expiry of the deadline for this particular automotive regulation.
The directive aims to enhance vehicle security and prevent tampering with registration details. The HSRP is a standardized plate designed with advanced security features, including a hologram and a unique national identification number, making it difficult to counterfeit.
Motorists across the state are advised to ensure their vehicles are fitted with the HSRP to avoid incurring the specified fine and to adhere to the traffic safety and security measures implemented by the state transport department.
