Lahore, April 7, 2025 – In an effort to modernize and streamline the process of vehicle number allocation, the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), in collaboration with the Punjab Excise and Taxation Department, has officially launched registration for the e-Auction of preferred vehicle numbers
This initiative, available through the newly introduced e-Auction App and Web Portal, allows individuals to register until April 30, 2025, to bid for their desired vehicle numbers.
The e-Auction system is designed to offer a convenient, transparent, and efficient platform for individuals looking to secure attractive or special vehicle numbers. Through this system, users can participate in the auction process from the comfort of their homes, eliminating the need to visit government offices and reducing unnecessary delays. The e-Auction system has been praised for its user-friendly interface, allowing people to browse available numbers and place bids in real time.
The PITB’s partnership with the Punjab Excise and Taxation Department highlights the government’s commitment to digital transformation and improving public services. As part of this initiative, the details of successful bidders will be made publicly available on the e-Auction App, ensuring full transparency and accountability in the bidding process.
Faisal Yousaf, Chairman of PITB, emphasized the importance of the e-Auction system in promoting fairness and reducing corruption. He stated, “This system not only promotes transparency but also plays a crucial role in eliminating corruption and the agent mafia that has traditionally plagued the allocation of vehicle numbers. This digital platform ensures that citizens can conveniently participate in online bidding and secure their desired number without any hassle.”
The launch of the e-Auction registration has received widespread support from citizens, who view it as a progressive step towards eliminating inefficiencies in government processes. With the registration deadline fast approaching, interested individuals are urged to register on the e-Auction portal to secure their chance to bid for their preferred vehicle numbers.
This initiative marks a significant move towards a more transparent and accessible process for vehicle number allocation in Punjab, promising a fairer system for all.
