Letters that changed

Some plates on the road carry older letters, because vehicles keep the number they were first given:

The current letters in the table are the ones VAHAN uses in its office codes today.

Plates with no state letters

A plate that starts with two digits and the letters BH is a Bharat series plate. It has no state or office code. See how to read a number plate.
