Recently, the Maharashtra government has altered its fee structure for getting the HSRP for the vehicles that were registered before the 1st of April 2019. It is to enhance the safety of cars, prevent car jackings and to standardize the number plates.
With car modifications being done, the independent centre has challenged people to increase their level of observance of regulation as a way of avoiding fines.
The Maharashtra Transport Department has updated the charges for HSRP installation, including GST. The rates are as follows:
