The Motor Vehicles (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 1972

The Motor Vehicles (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 1972, is a specific legislative amendment to the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, as it applied to the state of Maharashtra. Its primary purpose was administrative: it updated the official registration marks assigned to vehicles within the state. Specifically, the Act amended the Sixth Schedule of the parent legislation to include "MM" and "MT" as recognized registration letters alongside the existing "MR" and "MH" codes. For an ordinary citizen, this ensured that vehicles registered in Maharashtra could legally display these new identification codes on their license plates, facilitating the orderly registration of a growing number of vehicles.
