I keep reading in various automobile forums about police stopping out of state vehicles for not having the IND number plates. The facts are as follows.
IND written on number plates mean nothing.
The special tamperproof plates with holographic stickers, etc are called HSRP (High Security Registration Plate). You can't get it made and fixed from any car accessories store. In most states you can't fix the HSRP yourself. It has to be rivetted to your car/ 2 wheeler with a 'special' rivet.
The onus of providing HSRP is with the State Government and the RTO.
Various state governments have their own set of rules/ ways to work. Broad guidelines have only been issued by MORTH. Implementation lies on the state government/ RTO.
In West Bengal, AS, OD, JH, BR you can't apply for a HSRP. It's only while buying a new vehicle or during renewal of tax or fitness certificate, the HSRP is fixed at the RTO premises by their vendor(s) who are selected through a tendering process.
I have been told that some state governments have online system of applying for HSRP. I am not sure about the truthfulness of the fact. Supposedly, on payment of the fees, the HSRP is couriered to the registered address. The owner can get the plates fixed. I am not sure about which states have this rule, but if that is the system, the very purpose of HSRP is defeated.
However, in most states, if the government or RTO doesn't give out HSRP as yet (irrespective of the age of the vehicle), there's nothing that you can do. That doesn't mean that you can't drive around elsewhere in India.
If all details are there in mParivahan, you are on the right side of the law.
