During this digital age where personalization is crucial, there is a growing fascination with unique and eye-catching vehicle registration numbers. In January 2024, motor enthusiasts and those in search of distinct number plates are in for a treat as online auctions for coveted vehicle numbers are scheduled to take place.

What to Expect

The upcoming online auctions offer a wealth of opportunities for individuals looking to own a vehicle with a stand-out number. These auctions provide a platform for bidders to acquire exclusive registration numbers that reflect their individuality and personal style.

The online auction format provides convenience, allowing participants to engage in the bidding process from the comfort of their own homes.

In addition to the exclusive offer for enthusiasts by the excise department, the Punjab government is working towards reaching a milestone by encouraging motorists to obtain their learner or new driving licenses before the new deadline of January 9, 2023.

Relief for Driving License Fees

As 2024 begins, the people of Punjab have received positive news. Mohsin Naqvi, the interim Chief Minister of Punjab, has provided significant relief by postponing the implementation of the planned increase in driving license fees.

In December 2023, the Punjab government had announced that the license fee hike would take effect from January 1, 2024. However, the deadline has been extended until January 9, allowing citizens to obtain their licenses at the current fee structure.

This decision was made in response to the caretaker government’s earlier decision to substantially raise the driving license fees for both cars and motorcycles, with the fee for obtaining a driver’s license increasing by 1566% from Rs. 60 to Rs. 1000. Chief Minister Naqvi’s announcement of a temporary reprieve offers much-needed relief for the public.
