Karnataka: Vehicle owners get more time to affix HSRPs, deadline extended till November 30
Bengaluru: Karnataka’s Transport Department has extended the deadline for installing High-Security Registration Plates (HSRPs) on vehicles registered before April 1, 2019, to November 30, 2024. The move comes as the state continues to see slow compliance from vehicle owners.
HSRP is an aluminium-made number plate designed to enhance security of vehicles. Unlike regular number plates, which can be easily tampered, High-Security Registration Plates feature non-reusable locks that can only be removed by breaking the lock, making unauthorised changes difficult.
To assist vehicle owners, the Transport Department has set up a dedicated helpline for HSRP-related queries. Vehicle owners can contact the department at 9449863429 or 9449863426 for support.
The Transport Department has strongly urged all vehicle owners to comply with the direction before the extended deadline, warning that failure to do so may result in penalties or other enforcement actions.
