Not applicable.
Eligibility is for the "individual" in whose name the car is registered.

Your wife will have to meet the in-charge of the concerned RTO. The gazette notification says that the Official ID is enough.

The problem in most cases is that the Officers do not know that these issues have cropped up and Clerks are unwilling to deviate from what their understanding is.

Here is snip from the MoRTH Gazette.


Challenge the dealer with the Gazette. Just the identity card would work.

Does anyone know what the process for changing address for BH registered vehicle is?

[Grr7]

Hello members,

I need your help in this peculiar situation.

I got BH registration done for my vehicle in Delhi.

Now I want to sell the car to a buyer who is based in Himachal.

The Himachal RTO is asking for NOC letter. But, when I apply for NOC on Parivahan portal, it shows that "NOC cannot be issued for BH series vehicles". The RTO people at Delhi are equally clueless.

Does that mean I need to get BH series converted to normal series and pay complete 15 yrs tax in Delhi. And then get NOC to register vehicle in Himachal?

Same as that used to be for the normal state registered vehicles. You can apply for the change in address on the parivahan website, however the new address will need to match the Aadhar address. If you have changed the address in Aadhar then the process becomes easy.

BH registered vehicles can be sold to a person who has the BH eligibility i.e offices in more than 4 states. BH registered vehicle cannot be sold to any one else.

Yes, you will need to convert to state registrations, pay the road tax on pro rata basis and then get a new RC. Post that apply for the NOC, you can do that on Parivahan website too.

In the said rules, in rule 51B, in sub-rule (3), after first proviso, the following provisos shall be inserted, namely: - ―Provided further that if a vehicle registered in BH-Series, is transferred in the name of such person who is not eligible for BH-Series, as per clause (ca) or (cb) of sub-rule (1) of rule 47, then such vehicle shall be liable for assignment of new registration mark from regular registration series prevailing in the concerned State/UT and such vehicle shall also be liable for motor vehicle tax as per the taxation rules of concerned State/UT.

So if selling to a BH eligible person, you will still need a NOC right?

This is only applicable when selling to non BH eligible person.

Yes, it would still need an NOC but the pre filled forms are generated on Parivahan website when you apply for the change of ownership. I am not too sure how the Form 60 of the buyer can be uploaded on the Parivahan website, if somebody has done this process can share their experience. Alternatively the pre populated form from Parivahan needs to be submitted to the RTO for change of ownership. The BH registration number will still remain same.

I've paid the renewal tax for my vehicle today and while checking the "Latest Tax Details", I saw a note "Dear user, in case you haven't done Tax Clearance after paying tax for a particular period, then please contact your RTO for tax clearance to avoid any kind of penalty and extra tax payment."

I'm not sure about the process for getting the tax clearance. Has anybody here done this?

The transaction status is successful with the new dates reflecting on the MParivahan app. Do I still require a tax clearance?

Also, BH has to be done only from the dealer and from no one else. As in no one else can get it done. The dealer has to fill in the values in his portal and all and based on that the registration will be given.

As per my knowledge, BH initially started with new registrations alone. But at some point they have allowed people to convert from normal registration to BH, so this point may no longer be true I guess. Any comments? Refer to the gazette notification and form 27A to be submitted for this purpose, as mentioned here (and here is the official govt of India link).

I am trying to solve a problem I am facing right now, as explained here (Cut the waiting period | I purchased an XUV700 from Kerala and registered it in Bangalore).

Yes you are right. Now existing cars can also be converted into BH Registration. Talk to the RTO where you are trying to get it registered and see what they say.

My dealer has considered ex showroom price including GST and cess while paying road tax during registration. Due to this error, I will have to pay 20k extra over 15 years. I have taken it up with Honda but no response/help from them.

My next tax installment for next 2 years is due on 26/11/2023 and for this payment, system generated amount is the original road tax amount paid during registration and I can't edit the amount while repaying.

Has anybody got their road tax rectified in the above case? Is there any procedure to correct the taxes? Please guide what I shall do to avoid this additional tax amount.

Well my dealer at Kanpur did a similar thing and took about 50k for a BH Series number. However, I did poke him with the data from various calculation tools online. Finally, the RTO tax receipt was for an amount close to the online calculations(without any intervention by me or the dealer). A difference of about 17k from the dealer quote. The dealer automatically offset that amount towards the accessories that I installed.

Do check your tax receipt, AFAIK the calculations are automated at RTO and the dealer submitted price etc has minimal or zero bearing on it. I may be wrong on it. Verify your tax paid @ the Vaahan Portal.

So, contempt petition would be filed on 17th oct. Meanwhile they will appeal in SC. If govt lawyer gets the hearing and gets the appeal admitted then it's going to be 6 more months. If the appeal gets dismissed because already bigger bench of HC has given judgement and they don't HV any new argument, then the case may be dismissed. In that case they have to implement immediately. That would be around a month. I am also waiting for that.

Any update if Karnataka has started BH series for pvt employees or have they filed an appeal in Supreme Court?

[madhukarsingh]

They may or may or have filed but they are going to appeal. So, they have not implemented. This was informed to me directly from joint secretary office. I decided to buy KA registration. Although, once it it rejected by SC and may be implemented in 3-4 months, then I will apply for BH. BH series can be taken for used car as well. There is a notification from MORTH dated 4/10/2022.
