Political Heads Who Don’t Carry Registration Number Plates On Their Vehicles

As per Motor Vehicles Act 1988, it is compulsory for all means of transportation to display their respective registration plates.

The supplier of the particular vehicle provides a provisional registration number while selling the vehicle. This interim registration number is legal for just a period of 30 days. The possessors of the vehicle need to list their respective vehicles with the Regional Transport Office in the specified time limit.

Each and every person follows these mandatory requirements excluding a few political offices which don’t meet the terms.
