CompaniesPurchasing a new car or bike is an emotional milestone for many in Gujarat. To make their ride truly unique, many owners opt for a Choice Number (commonly known as a ‘Fancy Number’ or ‘VIP Number’). Whether it is a lucky number like ‘9’, a repetitive sequence like ‘1111’, or a specific date of birth, the Gujarat RTO provides a streamlined online process to claim these numbers.
Below is a detailed guide based on the Gujarat Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Rules and official manuals regarding the procurement of choice numbers.
In this guide, we will walk you through the process using the official Parivahan portal.
Classification of Numbers & Fee Structure
Choice numbers are categorized into three main groups: Golden, Silver, and Others. The fees vary depending on the vehicle type (Two-Wheelers vs. Other Vehicles).
| Classification | Examples of Numbers | Two-Wheeler Fees | Other Vehicle Fees |
