Punjab Number Plate E-Auction Schedule November 2026: BBT to BBX, BFQ to BFV and Every Re-Auction Date
Punjab's November 2026 number plate e-auction: car series BBT to BBX, bikes BFQ to BFV, CBP, three re-auction rounds and the Rs 650,000 top bid for BBS-111.
Punjab Excise posted its e-auction schedule for November 2026 on 2 November. Five new car series (BBT, BBU, BBV, BBW and BBX), five motorcycle series (BFQ, BFR, BFT, BFU and BFV) and one commercial series (CBP) go up for bidding this month, and leftover numbers in 16 older series get three re-auction rounds.
If you want a choice number such as 001, 786 or 8888 on a new car or bike in Punjab, these dates decide when you can register and bid. We read the three schedule sheets and two result sheets on the Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department's website on 2 November 2026. Below are all the dates, the daily timings, and what the first November results show about prices.
Punjab's November 2026 e-auction runs in five weekly rounds
Each new series opens for number selection on one day, closes six days later, and is bid on over the next two days. The first car and bike series, BBT and BFQ, opened on 1 November, and the last pair, BBX and BFV, closes for bidding on 2 December.
| Car series | Bike series | Registration | Bidding |
|---|---|---|---|
| BBT | BFQ | 1 to 6 November | 7 to 8 November |
| BBU | BFR | 7 to 12 November | 13 to 14 November |
| BBV | BFT | 13 to 18 November | 19 to 20 November |
| BBW | BFU | 19 to 24 November | 25 to 26 November |
| BBX | BFV | 25 to 30 November | 1 to 2 December |
Every one of these is listed as a "Complete Series", so all numbers in the series are open, not only the leftovers. Note that the bike list jumps from BFR to BFT. BFS does not appear on the November sheet.
Number selection runs 8 am to 5 pm, bidding 9 am to 9 pm
The department's sheet gives the same daily window for every series: you pick and register a number between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm on registration days, and bidding opens at 9:00 am and closes at 9:00 pm on bidding days.
So for BBT, the last chance to register is 5:00 pm on Friday 6 November, and the last bid is at 9:00 pm on Sunday 8 November. Miss the window and the number can only come back if nobody wins it and it goes to a later re-auction.
The commercial series CBP has a longer two-week window
Commercial vehicles get one new series in November. CBP is open for registration from 1 to 14 November, with bidding on 15 and 16 November. That is a single round, so there is no second chance in this month's main schedule.
Leftover commercial numbers in series CBN go to re-auction three times, on the same dates as the car and bike re-auctions below.
Leftover numbers in 16 older series get three re-auction rounds
Numbers that found no buyer earlier are auctioned again as "Left Over Attractive Nos". Ten car series, five bike series and one commercial series run three rounds each in November, all on the same dates.
| Round | Registration | Bidding |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 to 8 November | 9 to 10 November |
| 2 | 11 to 18 November | 19 to 20 November |
| 3 | 21 to 28 November | 29 to 30 November |
- Car series: AYX, AYY, AYZ, AZA, AZB, BBN, BBP, BBQ, BBR and BBS.
- Motorcycle series: BFK, BFL, BFM, BFN and BFP.
- Commercial series: CBN.
BBS and BFP are on the re-auction list because their main auctions have just finished. Their results went up on the same day, which tells you what the leftovers might cost.
The first November results: BBS-111 sold for Rs 650,000
The BBS car result, dated 1 November 2026, lists 34 numbers sold. The highest bid was Rs 650,000 for BBS-111, against a reserve price of Rs 100,300. BBS-008 went for Rs 315,000 on a reserve of Rs 59,400, and BBS-001 sold at its reserve of Rs 221,400.
| Number | Reserve price | Winning bid |
|---|---|---|
| BBS-111 (car) | Rs 100,300 | Rs 650,000 |
| BBS-008 (car) | Rs 59,400 | Rs 315,000 |
| BBS-777 (car) | Rs 275,000 | Rs 280,500 |
| BBS-786 (car) | Rs 140,900 | Rs 265,000 |
| BFP-8888 (bike) | Rs 12,900 | Rs 32,500 |
Bikes are far cheaper. The BFP motorcycle result lists 29 numbers. The top bid was Rs 32,500 for BFP-8888, and many round numbers such as BFP-1500 and BFP-7200 sold at or near Rs 5,000.
The result sheets also print each winner's name and a masked CNIC. We have left those out. Earlier results are covered in October's re-auction results.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked 2 November 2026. We read the E-Auction Schedule, Re-Auction Schedule and E-Auction Winners pages on the Punjab Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department website, and the three November schedule images and the BBS and BFP result PDFs on its E-Auction Winners page, all posted on 2 November 2026. Counts and the highest bids are taken from those PDFs. We did not sign in to the e-auction portal, so we have not checked its payment steps or deposit amounts ourselves.
