Ever wondered why some vehicles in India have yellow number plates? If you have taken a kaali peeli (taxi) or booked a cab online, you’ve already ridden in one. The yellow plate number is a type of number plate, used for commercial vehicles, allowing them to legally transport passengers or goods for a fee.
- As per The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, all vehicles in India must be registered with the Regional Transport Office, and their number plates indicate their purpose.
- Usually, private vehicles are assigned white colour plates.
- Commercial vehicles like taxis, auto-rickshaws, trucks, and buses are assigned yellow colour number plates with black lettering. These vehicles require special permits and must follow specific rules, including insurance and taxation laws.
