    Maharashtra Transport Department has made it mandatory for any vehicle sold before April 2019 to be affixed with an HSRP

    In December 2024 Maharashtra Transport Department issued a standard operating procedure (SOP), making HSRP compulsory on any vehicle sold before April 2019 that is still plying the roads. The SOP has stated the end of March 2025 as the final date to affix the HSRP else a fine will be levied as per the Motor Vehicle Act and Rules. If you are confused by the process here is a quick overview of everything you need to know about HSRP.

    Do note that we suggest you to apply the HSRP for your vehicle at the earliest as the website is full of glitches and appointment times are extended. Many users have faced this issue and that’s why we recommend you complete this process as soon as possible.

    What Is HSRP?

    HSRP number plate

    HSRP or High Security Registration Plates are tamper-proof plates with a unique number and code. These are standard across the entire country and are attached using special non-reusable locks which break if the HSRP is removed making it impossible to be mounted a second time. The government of India mandated the use of HSRP on every vehicle sold after April 2019 and stated this step as a move towards the reduction of road and vehicle-related crimes. 

    How To Get A HSRP?

    If you are a resident of Maharashtra an appointment must be booked online through Maharastra’s transport department's official website mentioned below. After selecting the appropriate RTO, submit the information required on the portal and book an appointment at a nearby vendor at a convenient date and time. Do note that the vehicle and phone details must match the one on the Vahan portal. 

    The transport department has divided the RTOs across Maharashtra into three zones details of those are as follows along with the portal link are as follows:
