The Punjab vehicle number auction lets motorists bid online for attractive registration marks through Punjab Excise's e-auction system, on web and mobile. The October 2026 schedule is published on the department's official site.
It covers cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Here is how it works.
How the E-Auction Works
1. Check the available marks. The numbers up for auction and the current schedule are published on the official e-auction schedule page.
2. Register as a bidder on the platform, which is operated with PITB.
3. Pay the required amount through official e-Pay channels.
4. Place your bid online during the auction window.
5. Check the result, and complete the remaining payment and registration formalities if you win. Full conditions are in the e-auction policy for attractive registration marks.
Reserve Prices: Where Bidding Starts
| Mark | Reserve price |
|---|---|
| 1 | Rs. 10,000 |
| 7 / 786 | Rs. 7,500 |
| Other categories | Own reserve prices |
Important: a reserve price is the floor, not the price. It is where bidding opens. What a sought-after mark actually sells for depends entirely on who else wants it, and popular numbers go far above their reserve.
Set your own maximum before you start and hold to it. Live bidding on a number you want is designed to pull you past your limit, and nobody has ever needed a particular registration mark.
Pay Through Official Channels Only
This needs saying, because premium numbers attract exactly the kind of offer you should refuse.
Bid and pay only through the official Excise platform and e-Pay channels. Nobody can "reserve" a premium number for you privately, guarantee you will win a mark, or arrange one outside the auction. Anyone promising that is either mistaken or taking your money.
What You Will Need
| Identity | CNIC, or NTN where applicable |
| Vehicle | Chassis number, AIN |
| Payment | Official e-Pay channels |
Confirm the full requirement list in the official policy before registering.
Cars, Motorcycles and Commercial Vehicles
The auction is not limited to cars — motorcycles and commercial vehicles have their own attractive marks, with reserve-price treatment that differs by vehicle category. Motorcycle owners putting money into a premium mark often care about how the bike looks generally; our bike PPF service covers protecting painted surfaces.
Punjab Number Vehicle Verification
Separate from bidding, Punjab number vehicle verification is how you check a registration's details against official records the ownership name, vehicle particulars and tax status tied to a number.
It is worth doing after an auction mark has been allotted and registered to confirm the record is correct, and it is essential before buying any used vehicle. Use Punjab Excise's own online services for this rather than third-party sites asking for your CNIC.
October 2026 Schedule
A schedule for October 2026 has been published. We are not reproducing bidding dates here, because auction schedules change and a date copied into an article is the quickest way to make someone miss one. Check the official schedule page directly, close to when you intend to bid.
Final Thoughts
The Punjab vehicle number auction is a straightforward online process: register, pay, bid, and complete the formalities if you win. Remember that reserve prices such as Rs. 10,000 for mark "1" are starting points rather than final costs, set your own ceiling before bidding, and pay only through official channels. Check the Excise schedule for current dates.
