Now, failure to get a high security registration plate (HSRP) and colour-coded sticker affixed on old or new vehicle will invite a penalty in the UT. From March, the Registering and Licensing Authority (RLA) will ask police to impose a fine of ₹3,000 and ₹5,000 on two- and four-wheelers, respectively, found in violation.
As per the directions of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the affixation of high security registration plate and third registration mark (colour-coded sticker) on the vehicles (old and new) has been made mandatory. The office of the RLA, UT, had implemented the scheme of HSRP in Chandigarh in 2013.
As of now, the deadline of February 28 has been set only for CH01BK and BL series. One can apply for affixation of the HSRP and the third registration mark in the RLA office, Sector 17, within the month of February as per the due procedure available on the web portal chdtransport.gov.in.
Owners of vehicles with registration number of series “CH01BM” to “CH01BT” may also apply for the same at the RLA office only.

The owners of vehicles having registration number of the series that have been taken up for HSRP affixation can apply at their respective RLA offices (ie RLA Office Sector-17, SDM(South) Office, Sector-42, or SDM(East) Office, Industrial Area, Phase-I, Chandigarh) with the following documents:-
-Application on plain paper mentioning the detail of chassis number, engine number, make, model
-Copy of Registration Certificate of the vehicle

Moreover, the Transport Department, Chandigarh, has authorised dealers to affix colour-coded sticker and HSRPs on old and new vehicles. Hence, the registered owners of vehicles of other old or existing series can also approach their dealers concerned (of their vehicle’s make) for getting the HSRP and third-registration mark affixed to their vehicles.
The replacement of any existing registration plate may be made only after ensuring that the old plate has been surrendered and destroyed on the office premises. The vehicles owners who fail to get the number plates affixed are liable for prosecution under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, and Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.
