BHPian ![]() | ![]() I know of a builder in Mangalore who has all his cars with number ending with N 11. He has registered his cars from so many different RTO's. Is it possible to get a car registered from a different RTO when i am staying in some other RTO limits? |

| ![]() In Kerala there is a gazette notification by the MVD listing 143 numbers which are considered fancy numbers and you have to book for these numbers in advance(250 numbers before).booking amount is presently Rs.2000/-(formerly it was Rs.5000/-).If there are more than one applicant for the same number, it is put up for auction and the highest bidder gets the allotment.NO SCOPE for any BRIBES,because it is held openly and you/representative must directly be present for bidding. as far as I know the highest amount paid till date was Rs.4.5 lakhs for KL-07-AW-1. |

| ![]() I guess showtime is all fancy numbers are.... I got 7777 for my 2002 santro (mumbai andheri RTO) and had paid 10,000 officially plus 1000 as tea n snacks charges. Last year when i got my Innova, 7777 was not available and they asked 2,25,000 ( 75,000 is official for 4 digits same series and they charges thrice the amount if they give you the number from two wheeler series ) finally settled for 5050 and paid 22,500 officially but now the tea time expenses went to 5,000 they say its all demand supply that has created these high charges same is the scenario for cell phone numbers a number ending with 99999 was sold for a lac in mumbai and ending with 000000 is being quoted at 2 lacs ![]() If anyone wants the premium numbers, best alternative is to catch hold of new operators in the city who are willing to give premium numbers at lower cost ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() My family's been having the number 8008 since as far as i can remember. All our bikes and cars have that number ( except for a Maruti Van and my current Alto - which has 2424, as we got the esteem at the same time). Currrent crop for the 8008 number includes: 2 Activas 1 Enfield Thunderbird 1 HH CBZ 1 Innova 1 M. Esteem Had to pay Rs.8888 in an auction for the number of the Esteem. Rest all it's only been the govt fees of Rs.500 for 2 wheeler and 3000 for 4 wheelers. Though earlier it all used to happen by "setting" only. In recent years, the govt too has woken up and introduced auctions. |

| ![]() I have a single digit numerical No., i.e., 1, on my 1995 Esteem. I did not pay for it. I was allotted the number by a politician friend. I've had several interesting experiences because of the number. Highway toll computers do not issue receipts for a single digit numerical number as they are designed for the present times in which single digit numerical numbers are not issued any more. Many of the toll boys think I've simply not displayed the preceeding digits to show off my No. 1! At many parking places, curious young attendants waive off the fee. Often they smilingly point out the number to their colleagues who gather around the car. Often, policemen do not stop me at road barriers and simply waive me on. Now, I'm informed, NRIs are willing to pay Rs 10 lakh for the car simply because of the number. Later, they'll get the number transferred to their Merc/BMW. But I'm not selling -- not just yet! But sometimes I'm tempted to do so and then head straight for the Skoda showroom and pick up the 1.8 TSI. But the write-ups on the Forum about the Skoda service, etc, and the knowledge that the Yeti TSI/CRDi and the Jetta CRDi are around the corner also put a stop to my inclination. |

| ![]() its not true....the cost of the number plate depends on how advanced you pick the series. for example if the rto has opened the BA series and u want some other series which has not been in the market you pay a higher price and of course the price also depends on the type of number if its a fancy number or a vip number or even a govt number.. |
