In a move to modernize public services, the Punjab government has launched an innovative e-auction platform for vehicle number plates. Citizens now have the opportunity to bid for unique and desirable number plates for their cars and motorcycles, with registration open until January 30th.

Transparent & Hassle-Free Bidding

The initiative, led by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) in collaboration with the excise and taxation department, aims to simplify and streamline the auction process. With the e-Auction App and web portal, participants can register, bid, and monitor auction results—all from the comfort of their homes.

This digital system marks a significant departure from traditional methods, removing the need for middlemen and ensuring transparency throughout the process. By embracing technology, the government seeks to eliminate corruption and create a level playing field for all participants.

The platform also provides additional features like tax calculation and vehicle verification, making it a one-stop solution for vehicle-related needs. This effort reflects Punjab’s commitment to adopting technology to deliver more efficient and user-centric services to its citizens.

Below is the schedule which provides important details for individuals interested in registering and participating in the e-auction for cars and bikes this month.
