Pune, August 17, 2023: The Regional Transport Authority (RTA) in Pune has witnessed a significant uptick in the demand for vehicles bearing the ‘BH’ (Bharat) registration number series. This surge in popularity can be attributed to the series’ targeted appeal to central government and private employees, particularly those who frequently experience transfers due to their job requirements. The ‘BH’ series, designed to offer convenience and continuity to such individuals, has garnered enthusiastic response since its inception.
Official statistics from the RTA reveal that a total of 2,645 four-wheelers have been registered with the ‘BH’ number series in Pune till July of this year. Comparatively, the figures stood at 2,715 and 106 in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The trend is mirrored in two-wheelers registration as well, with 1,186 reported registrations for the current year till July, as opposed to 1,047 in 2022 and 25 in 2021.
The ‘BH’ registration number series was conceived with the objective of catering to central government and private sector employees who frequently face the challenge of relocating due to transfers. This series offers a seamless solution to the perennial issue of changing vehicle registration numbers every time they move to a new state or region. The unique structure of the ‘BH’ series, which combines the year of registration, the ‘BH’ prefix, a randomly generated four-digit number, and two alphabets between ‘A’ and ‘Z’, ensures both practicality and uniqueness.
Interested citizens can apply for the ‘BH’ registration number series through the Saarthi website, streamlining the application process and making it accessible to a broader audience. This user-friendly approach to registration underscores the government’s efforts to leverage technology for the ease and convenience of the public.
The rise in demand for the ‘BH’ registration number series highlights the resonance of this initiative with a specific segment of vehicle owners. By offering them the continuity of registration even through transfers, the series contributes to a hassle-free experience and aligns with the evolving needs of modern professionals. As more individuals become aware of and opt for this convenient registration option, the ‘BH’ series is poised to become a significant and integral part of Pune’s vehicle registration landscape.
