- About this plate
- THE LIGHT-GREEN CDP PLATE, home-based NON-diplomatic staff of a mission in Delhi. Both the mark and its colour arrive in the same instrument, G.S.R. 395(E) of 16 July 1997, so the period claim is unusually clean for this jurisdiction. Do not confuse the light green of rule 77(1)(iii) with the battery-vehicle green of rule 50(2A): different instruments, different regimes, twenty-one years apart, and the CDP plate carries white characters where a private EV plate also carries white, the mark itself is the only reliable discriminator.
