Things to know about JH codes

  • Jharkhand was carved out of Bihar in November 2000; vehicles in its districts had earlier carried BR series codes, several of which Bihar no longer uses.
  • Daltonganj is the headquarters of Palamu district, Jamshedpur of East Singhbhum and Chaibasa of West Singhbhum, so plates name the town rather than the district.
