Maharashtra’s VIP Number Price Increase

The Maharashtra government has hiked fees for “choice numbers,” commonly known as VIP numbers, for new vehicles, which will translate into revised ₹ 6 lakh charge for the most sought-after ‘0001’ number for four-wheelers in high-demand areas like Mumbai, Pune, and other cities.

Interestingly, the new fees mean that an out-of-series VIP number will cost up to ₹ 18 lakh in major cities including Mumbai and Pune, which incidentally is the cost of new cars in the mid-segment.

Here’s a summary of the revised fees for VIP registration numbers as per the Transport Department’s recent notification:

Key Changes:

  • Out-of-series fees for high-demand numbers have seen the most substantial hike.
  • The new rules allow the transfer of VIP numbers to immediate family members, expanding the scope of VIP number usage.
  • The government has extended the period for producing a vehicle with a reserved number from 30 days to six months.

Revenue Impact:

The fee revision aims to generate additional revenue, building on the ₹139.20 crore earnings from VIP registration numbers in the 2017-18 financial year.
