VIP vehicle registration numbers to cost more in Haryana

Getting VIP or vanity registration numbers for motor vehicles will henceforth be a more costly affair in Haryana as the state cabinet on Friday approved a fee hike, which is two-fold in some cases.

A nod for an amendment to the Haryana Motor Vehicle Rules, 1993, facilitated the upward revision in fee for obtaining preferential registration numbers for non-transport as well as transport vehicles.

In case of non-transport vehicles, the transport department will now charge Rs.1.50 lakh for numbers 0002, 0007 and 0009 in any series.

For numbers 0003 to 0006 and 0008 in any series, the fee will be Rs.1 lakh, instead of Rs.75,000 earlier.

However, the fee for number 0001 in any series will remain unchanged at Rs.5 lakh, a state government spokesman said here.

Numbers 0010, 0011, 0022, 0033, 0044, 0055, 0066, 0077, 0088, 0099, 0100 and 786 will cost Rs.75,000 each instead of Rs.50,000.

Registration numbers 0012 to 0021, 0023 to 0032, 0034 to 0043, 0045 to 0054, 0056 to 0065, 0067 to 0076, 0078 to 0087, 0089 to 0098, 0111, 0200, 0222, 0300, 0333, 0400, 0444, 0500, 0555, 0600, 0666, 0700, 0777, 0800, 0888, 0900, 0999, 1000, 1111, 2000, 2222, 3000, 3333, 4000, 4444, 5000, 5555, 6000, 6666, 7000, 7777, 8000, 8888, 9000 and 9999 will cost Rs.50,000 each, instead of Rs.25,000.

Any other number for preferential allotment on an out-of-turn basis within the running series will now cost Rs.20,000.

In case of transport vehicles, numbers 0002 to 0021, 0022, 0033, 0044, 0055, 0066, 0077, 0088, 0099 and 786 will cost Rs.20,000 each.

Any other registration number for preferential allotment on an out-of-turn basis within running series, including 0100, will cost Rs.10,000.
