Can Private Company Employees in Delhi Get BH Series in 2026? Full Eligibility Guide

Introduction

A common question at Delhi RTO counters in 2026 is: “Can private company employees apply for a BH Series number plate?” The short answer is yes — but only if specific conditions are met.

The BH (Bharat) Series was introduced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to help people with transferable jobs avoid repeated vehicle re-registration. Private employees are included, but the eligibility is stricter than for government staff.

This guide explains the rules calmly and practically, just as a Delhi RTO officer would, so you can decide correctly before applying. Official rules are published via Parivahan Sewa and MoRTH notifications.

Basic Rule for Private Company Employees

In 2026, private company employees in Delhi can apply for BH Series only if their employer has offices in at least four Indian states or Union Territories. This is the single most important eligibility condition.

The rule exists to ensure BH registration is used only by people genuinely facing inter-state movement due to work — not as a tax shortcut.

This requirement is defined under MoRTH guidelines and implemented through the Parivahan system at Delhi RTOs.

What Is Allowed vs Not Allowed

Allowed

• Private employees working for companies with offices in 4+ states
• Offer letter or employment certificate mentioning multi-state presence
• BH Series application at time of new vehicle registration

Not Allowed

• Small local firms with operations only in Delhi / NCR
• Freelancers, consultants, or self-employed individuals
• Applicants unable to prove employer’s multi-state presence

Delhi RTOs verify employer details carefully. Applications fail most often due to incorrect or incomplete employer documentation.

Documents Required in 2026

Private employees applying for BH Series in Delhi must submit:

• Valid Aadhaar and PAN
• Employment certificate on company letterhead
• Proof of employer offices in 4+ states
• Vehicle insurance and invoice

If the vehicle is purchased on loan, hypothecation must be correctly recorded. If loan details are wrong or outdated, resolve them through hypothecation removal services before applying.

Real Delhi Scenarios Explained

• Startup employee with Delhi-only office: Not eligible
• MNC employee transferred from Bengaluru to Delhi: Eligible

Delhi RTO officers often cross-check employer presence using public records. Incorrect claims can lead to rejection or future compliance issues.

What If You Change or Leave Your Job?

A common concern is whether BH Series becomes invalid after leaving a private job.

In practice, BH registration remains valid. However:

• Authorities may review compliance during renewals or audits
• Misrepresentation at the time of application can cause issues later

This is why accurate eligibility at the time of registration matters more than future job changes.

Common Mistakes Seen at Delhi RTOs

• Submitting offer letters without employer address details
• Confusing NCR presence with multi-state presence
• Applying without clearing ownership or RC issues

If your RC details are incorrect or missing, resolve them first through duplicate RC services .
