          Yes Ranjit; partly of HSRP. However, if you notice, except for point #4, all other things are common. And this should be the latest GMO on the number plate.

          Point being that, apart from coloring, all the plates has to be hot stamped & not stickered or painted.

            last i heard, the HSRP was still in the pipeline with the govt not authorizing any company to manufacture the plates. The closest thing to HSRP(looks wise) was anti theft number plates manufactured by UTSAV safety systems pvt ltd who have put up a disclaimer on their site saying they wont be held responsible if someone claims that UTSAV sold them HSR plates.

            Whats the situation now?

                    I do not even see Cops following this here in Chennai. All they use is 1inch font for front and 1.3Inch for back. (I think this standard is given by Sticker shops )

                          ^^^ Nagoo - what's axis of the vehicle? Excluding this, what I understand is, the number plate can be as what you've put on your ride.

                              Not required; in that case why do we have to ride always from left? Why obtain license & certify that one can ride? Does posessing license enables him/her to ride? Why waste money on marking the lane? Why waste money on marking speed limits? Why impose laws on helmet or seat belts? Why stop at signals when they're RED? Why use blinkers? Is this all a must?

                              Absolutely!!! And when they start bothering, you're free to pay up!!!
