What is the year did the mandatory pre-fitment of High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) for all new vehicles come into effect under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988?

Question

Match List-I with List-II

Answer 1

The cleanest way to fix this date is to note that only one of the four years lines up with when the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways actually issued the notification, so the other three can be ruled out by their timing alone.

2018: the mandate had not yet been rolled out nationwide by this point.
2023 and 2024: both of these come well after the mandate was already operating, so neither marks the starting point.
2019: the notification fixing 1 April 2019 as the date from which all new vehicles must carry a factory-fitted HSRP places the correct answer squarely in this year.

Since 2019 is the only year matching the actual notification date, it is the correct answer.

Answer 2

The years 2018 and 2019 sit right next to each other, which is exactly why they are worth comparing directly, since the difference between not yet mandatory and now mandatory turns on a specific notified date rather than a general trend.

2018: at this stage, HSRP fitment was being rolled out unevenly across different states rather than through a single, uniform, nationwide requirement binding every new vehicle from the factory, so the mandatory pre-fitment rule for all new vehicles had not yet taken hold.
2019: the position changed with a specific notification fixing 1 April 2019 as the date from which manufacturers had to deliver every new vehicle with an HSRP already fitted, turning what had been a gradual, state-by-state rollout into a firm, nationwide requirement.
2023 and 2024: both of these years come well after this 2019 notification, by which time the mandatory requirement had already been in force for several years, so neither can be the year the requirement began.

Since the shift from partial, state-level implementation to a firm nationwide mandate happened specifically with the 2019 notification, and 2023 and 2024 are simply too late, 2019 is the year the requirement came into effect.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2019.
