New Delhi: The Delhi transport department has issued an order which states that the vehicles which do not have a high-security registration plate (HSRP) will be fined from Tuesday, December 15. Department had earlier asked the public living in Delhi to get their high-security registration plates and colour-coded stickers affixed on their vehicles “without any delay”.
People can be fined ₹10,000, which is compoundable to Rs 5,500 under the amended MV Act. Strict action would be taken against those who do not have HSRP and colour coded-stickers.
Vehicles owners that have applied for HSRP and colour-coded stickers will not be fined for now. The driver just has to show the slip of the application to the traffic police.
What is HSRP?
HSRP is a chromium-based hologram applied by hot stamping on the number plates both at the front and back, besides laser-branding of a permanent identification number. The aluminium high security registration plates feature a hot-stamped chromium-based 20 mm X 20 mm hologram of Ashoka Chakra in blue colour on the top left corner. At the bottom left corner, it gets a 10-digit permanent identification number (PIN) laser branded on the reflective sheeting.
What are colour-coded stickers?
The colour-coded or fuel stickers are meant for identifying vehicles based on their fuel type. Those vehicles, which run on petrol and CNG, will have light blue-coloured stickers, while the ones that use diesel will have orange-colored stickers.
These colour-coded stickers have details like the registration number, the registering authority, a laser-branded PIN, and the engine and chassis numbers of the vehicle.
