The Punjab government has launched registration for its December online auction of premium “fancy” number plates, offering vehicle owners across the province a chance to bid for exclusive and customized registration numbers. This initiative allows participants to secure vanity plates for motorcycles, private cars, and commercial vehicles without visiting any physical office.
The auction will be conducted on a fully digital platform managed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB). Vehicle owners can place bids through the PITB e-Auction mobile app or the official online portal.
Participants can select from premium categories such as gold, platinum, or other customized combinations, including highly sought after single digit and repeated number plates. Registration will remain open until January 30, giving ample time for users to join the digital auction.
PITB officials highlighted that the move to a digital auction ensures transparency, efficiency, and fairness. Vehicle owners can monitor real time bids, check the successful bidders’ list, and place their offers online, eliminating long queues and paperwork.
A PITB spokesperson stated,
“Our goal is to make premium number plate allocation fully digital and accessible, giving every vehicle owner an equal opportunity to bid for fancy registration numbers.”
The program covers motorcycles, private cars, and commercial vehicles, each with its own dedicated auction category. This system encourages participation from all vehicle owners and promotes a streamlined process for acquiring exclusive plates.
