Tamper-proof plates on vehicles from Jan

New Delhi: In its bid to ensure that all vehicles have tamper-proof high security registration plates, the government has decided to bring in a new system whereby the vehicle owners would get their cars from the dealership with factory-fitted registration plates. The Road Transport and Highways Ministry on Monday came out with a draft notification which said, “The security licence plate, including third registration mark, wherever necessary, shall be supplied by vehicle manufacturers along with all the vehicles manufactured on or after 1st day of January, 2019, and their dealers will place a mark of registration on such plates and affix them on the automobiles”. However, the embossing of the number plates would be done at the dealership level. TNS
