Fancy Number Plate in Jharkhand: Check Prices and How to Apply

Cars are more than just tools to help us get from point A to point B; they reflect our achievements and aspirations. Customising one's car is a great way to show off one’s tastes, but most aftermarket modifications are not legal in India, and mass/mid-market manufacturers offer limited options. Getting a fancy number plate is one way to attract attention to your car; some people also get them for sentimental or religious reasons. Here’s a step-by-step guide on everything you need to know about getting a fancy number plate in Jharkhand.
