There seems to be a rush among people to affix High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) before the deadline which is likely to end on September 30, 2022.

The Odisha government had earlier extended the last date for affixing High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) from August 31 to September 30, 2022 in view of the flood situation in the state.

The State Transport Authority (STA) had informed that old vehicles registered prior to April 1, 2019 with Odisha Registration Mark and Registration number ending with 1, 2, 3 and 4 need to affix HSRP by September 30. The last date for vehicle number ending with 5 and 6 last number is October 31, 7 and 8 is November 30 and for registration numbers ending with 9 and 0, the last date is December 31, 2022.

Though the entire online process to book a slot is quite easy, a lot of people, who do not have adequate knowledge about computers, are now seeking help from their relatives, friends and others to book a slot for HSRP.

The urgency among people is mainly due to penal provision for violation of the existing guidelines. In case the vehicle is not affixed with HSRP within the scheduled date mentioned above, e-challan shall be issued against the offending vehicle and attract a fine of Rs 5000 or Rs 10,000 under Section 192 of the M.V. Act, official sources said.
