HSRP Deadline Ends Today in Karnataka

Vehicle owners in Karnataka, the deadline for installing High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) ends today. Out of 2 crore registered vehicles, only 52 lakh have had the mandatory plates installed, leaving a significant number of vehicle owners at risk of fines.

Here’s what you need to know:

What is HSRP?

The High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) is an aluminium-made number plate that ensures your vehicle’s identity is tamper-proof. It includes:

A hot-stamped chromium-based hologram with the Ashoka Chakra for authentication.
A 12-digit laser-engraved identification number linked to the vehicle’s details on the Vahan portal.
Tamper-proof snap rivets that cannot be reused, ensuring that the plate remains secure once installed.
This initiative is part of the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways’ efforts to reduce vehicle-related crimes and ensure that all vehicles on the road are traceable. The HSRP is mandatory for vehicles registered before 2019.

What Are the Consequences of Non-Compliance?

If you haven’t yet complied, your vehicle could be subject to fines starting at:

₹500 for the first offense
₹1,000 for repeat offenders
The enforcement drive could begin any time soon. With the Karnataka High Court set to discuss the matter further on September 18, 2024, it’s important to act now and avoid penalties.

Promoting road safety by ensuring that old, insecure number plates are replaced with modern, tamper-proof versions.
