The Government of Karnataka has issued a notification on January 3rd 2025 extending the deadline for affixing High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) on all classes of vehicles registered prior to 1st April 2019. This extension has been made in line with previous notifications issued over the course of 2023 and 2024.
The new deadline for completing the HSRP affixing process is now January 31, 2025.
Key Details of the Notification:
- Extended Deadline: Vehicle owners now have until 31st January 2025 to ensure the installation of HSRP on their vehicles registered before April 1, 2019.

Purpose of the HSRP:
The introduction of High Security Registration Plates is part of the government’s effort to enhance vehicle security and reduce the risk of vehicle-related crimes. The plates include unique features like a laser-etched code, which helps in tracking and identification.
