The first two alphabets of a vehicle number plate reveal the state that a vehicle belongs to. DL denotes vehicles from Delhi and UP indicates those from Uttar Pradesh. Have you noticed any number plates with BH?

Not everybody is eligible for a BH series number plate. Only a certain section of people can apply for one. Government servants working for the center and states can apply. The employees of banks and military personnel are also eligible. Employees of the administrative services are eligible too. Those working for private companies having offices in at least four states can also apply.

This series is particularly beneficial for those traveling across cities as part of their profession. You don't have to re-register your vehicle when you move to another state. The BH number plate is valid throughout India, so you can drive your vehicle anywhere in the country.

The biggest disadvantage is that this feature isn't available to the general public. Vehicles used for transport or commercial purposes cannot use this number plate.

To obtain it, first log in to the Ministry of Road Transport (MoRTH)'s Vahan portal. You'll need to fill out Form 20 on the portal, and those working for private companies will need to fill out Form 16. You'll also need to submit your employee ID and work certificate along with the application. After this, government officials will verify your eligibility.

After the registration, you'll need to select the BH option from the number category. After receiving approval from the RTO, you'll need to pay a fee. Once the fee is paid, your vehicle will receive the BH number series.
