Delivery is to go as planned but yet to see if we'll get HSRP.

Hey, how long did it take to get the HSRP number plates from RTO, after you received the SMS?

Anybody can shed some light into the lead time involved with HSRP number plates for new vehicle registration at Bengaluru?

I took delivery of my R3 on 16th May, and still waiting on the number plates to arrive.

Hey. We finally didn't get HSRP. Regular plastic plates. Seemed to be the case with all cars being delivered on the day. Sorry I can't be of much help.

Has it been all sorted out now?

They are from 'break off' bolts/screws. The top has been broken off.

Thank you. I have not received anything either, and seeing your example, I should not hope for it in near future.

I should probably go to an authorized vendor and get the new set of number plates, and not RTO.

I run into the risk of being pulled over by officials wanting to make quick bucks due to the temp registration (though I sparingly use the vehicle), and fined for the fault of how the system works.

Sharing an image of the rivets I had taken when the HSRP's were fitted to a friend's new car. Hyundai took about a week to get the plates post delivery of the car in Thane/Mumbai. They provided regular plates in the mean time.



The thicker side of the rivet is fixed inside and the thinner side is cut off post installation with the help of a special tool.

All, I finally received the HSRPs from RTO after 11 days of taking vehicle delivery.

My car was registered on 17th April 2019 in Chennai. I was also charged ₹200 by my dealer for "HSRP Number Plates". When I took delivery of my car, I noticed they were regular reflective plates with embossed numbers, but had no holograms or any kind of serial numbers on them. Also, they were not riveted. So, I removed the plates from the dealer and got custom number plates with the frames and installed in my vehicle.

Just a few days later, I saw a brand new Maruti Celerio on road, with IND number plates with serial numbers on the plates. I looked at the windshield and there was no sticker with the HSRP details. I immediately called a person, who is in the number plate business for almost 3 decades now. He said, "Few dealers are providing with fake HSRP number plates. The customers are not aware of the same, and they might be fined for the same"

Interestingly, if you take a look at the Tamil Nadu State Transport Authority's website, they have clearly mentioned

. The Government of Tamil Nadu has decided to implement the project. The modalities are being worked out.

I was told, Tamil Nadu has not yet implemented HSRP plates, and all the plates that we see on the road are fake HSRP plates. I got the information from a very reliable source.

Also, a news article, mentions about two fake HSRP suppliers, supplying to showrooms across Tamil Nadu.


So be wary of the plates you get from your dealer.

Today, I received the HSRP plates at Chennai for my EcoSport which was delivered on June 5th. The car was set to RTO on 3rd, the number was assigned on the same day. Number plates and stickers were ready by today and were installed by the dealer himself. Smart card is still pending and may take upwards of 2 weeks.

I got my plates on Wednesday, exactly after a week. Did they use the snap bolts for you?,mine was normal bolts.

My dealer told that HSRP is mandatory only for vehicles manufactured after 1 April 2019. This is in Kerala. We however get a very similar plate from the dealer. In KL, they deliver vehicles with Temp registration and it is for the owners to get proper registration. We asked the dealer to do it because we didn't want to miss office on that particular day.

They did not use snap bolts; they were normal ones.

What's the current status? Haven't seen any HSRP in Kerala yet :-(

Took delivery of Maruti Ignis on 3rd May from Popular Nexa, Calicut.

Vehicle was April manufactured, however what dealer was mentioning was that all vehicles registered past 01-April-19 should have HSRP, as against the manufacturing date you mentioned.

In any case, listing HSRP procedure -

- Got registration done at local RTO.
- They have a tracking number, which is anyway part of the temporary registration document.
- Check the tracking number status in parivahan site.
- After some 3 days or so, registration number is updated in the site.
- Share the number & date of registration to your vehicle dealer.
- Vehicle dealer will get HSRP manufactured by contacting their dealer.
- For Calicut, this is done by Maruti from Cochin.
- In around 4 days, new plates arrive.
- Get the plates installed from dealer
- RC is supposed to arrive in another month or so.


There was no money paid.

I got HSRP plates fixed today at the dealership after couple of weeks of taking delivery - they have used snap bolts for the front plate but normal bolts for the rear plate, and I just discovered that apparently it's not the norm as they had told me.

I called to confront them about this and I heard excuses like -
a) they got only 2 snap bolts with the plates
b) Vento already comes with normal bolts for the rear plate and in order to use a snap bolt, they will have to make separate holes in the rear like they did for the front plate

I was not convinced and I told them that I'll get back in some time.

Well, what do I do now? For starters, the plates are not high quality by any means and I've already seen reports of ink fading away within a year.

Are they correct that snap bolts require separate holes in the back? I am not very keen on drilling holes in a brand new car for poor quality plates that I'll need to change within a year.

On the other hand, what's the point of an HSRP plate that's not fixed with a snap bolt, anyway?

Please suggest

Front plate with snap bolts -


Rear plate with normal bolts -


Found this picture online of a Rapid being fitted with an HSRP number plate at the rear -

For what it's worth, the dealership put the sticker on my windshield with the registration number and date of registration - it looks stupid and I tried to avoid it but they told me that they need to send picture to the RTO of the sticker affixed. Honestly, I don't buy that! They always have random reasons to do random things to your car, but well "it was just a sticker" at the end of the day so I let them stick it.

Today morning went to the registration of my EcoSport at Calicut RTO. Reached there at 10.15, saw the inspector, and he verified the chassis number and told to wait till 12 o clock to submit the registration documents.

At 12, the same inspector came and called me first. He checked for all the documents copy in the website and told me that dealer inspection copy with chassis number pencil print is not uploaded by the dealer.

Called the dealer and first they said they don't have such an option to upload. Told them inspector will not agree. They called back after 10 minutes and then said they have spoken to RTO, and I can submit the documents without any issue.

When I said this to the inspector, he said he would reject the application since it is incomplete. He also said another person came for registration of his Swift had the same problem. I met that man and he said his dealer uploaded the missing document soon after his request in 5 minutes.

I called my dealer and told them this case and asked them why they don't have such an option. Then came third excuse, that it is usually not required in most of RTOs. They said a few RTOs insist that document and they do it only for those RTOs. I asked them why don't you do it now. They said they can't do it without having pencil print of chassis number.

Gave them a piece of my mind after knowing that all this issues were due to their lackluster attitude. The inspector, watching all my calls for the last one hour, asked me to write a complaint against the dealer for wasting my time and giving me incomplete application. I wrote the complaint, and he took my application and submitted it. He also gave the registration number saying most probably that will be the permanent registration number.

Left RTO at 1.30, of which more than 1 hour was wasted with calls to dealer. The dealer called me in the evening and I told them I have given a complaint against them, in order to get my application approved. They said they have uploaded the document in the afternoon. If that was possible, I don't know why they took it so long to do it.

Confirmed the registration number in the parivaahan site in the evening. Now waiting for HSRP.

I am attaching the list of documents in the order to be submitted to RTO for registration.
