Karnataka govt warns of Rs 500 penalty on vehicles without HSRP number plates after September 15
With the September 15 deadline approaching, Karnataka vehicle owners must install High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP) to avoid penalties. Only 51 lakh of 2 crore vehicles have HSRP. Post-deadline, fines start at Rs 500 and can rise to Rs 1000 for repeat offences. A special enforcement drive begins September 16.
With just 5 days remaining, vehicle owners in Karnataka must act quickly to avoid penalties for not having High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP). The deadline for mandatory HSRP installation is September 15, and the Transport Department has made it clear that there will be no extension.
As of now, out of the 2 crore vehicles in the state, only 51 lakh are equipped with HSRP. This leaves approximately 1.49 crore vehicles still needing to comply with the new regulation. After the deadline, those without HSRP will face a fine of Rs 500. If they continue to be non-compliant, the fine will increase to Rs 1000 for repeat offences.
Karnataka motorists warned of heavy fines for missing HSRP number plates after September 15
The Transport Department will launch a special drive starting September 16 to ensure all vehicles are fitted with HSRP. Both the RTO and traffic police will enforce this rule strictly.
