[edit] Pre-independence numbers?

Does anyone know the numbers being issued before independence?--PremKudva^Talk 10:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Info?

The explanation with the image of a Karnataka license plate KA 19 P 8488 describes the 'P' as denoting a private vehicle. I think this is not correct. All private vehicles do not start with P. 'P' is for cars. Is my understanding correct? --User:Roshan.achar —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roshan.achar (talk • contribs) 07:24, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

The letter P is currently for private four wheelers, it initially started with M, and N. After P it will continue with Z, and thereafter MA. Currently cars and SUVs are registered under this letter. The meaning private here is supposed to denote non-commercial. I will make that correction.

Note that the usage of the letter varies from state to state.--PremKudva^Talk 05:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
