Vehicles registered under the BH series don't contain the state code, OD in Odisha's case, in their license plates. The first two numbers denote the year in which the vehicle was registered, followed by the BH inscription. The vehicle will then have a series code between A and Z after a 4-digit digital number.
Any employee of the State or Central government can apply for the facility by furnishing an official Identity Card. For the private sector, the employee of a company having offices in at least four states/UTs is eligible to avail the number.
