Organization of training for dealers
They added that the first training has been completed for them as the process of number allotment will be done from the dealer level. Phased training will be organized in the coming days.

Decentralized the process
Earlier, the government had started the system of getting the number plates fitted to the dealers after getting the delivery of the vehicle and after the RTO registration. The state government has now decentralized the entire process and authorized the dealers for the number allotment process as well.

No need to wait for selected number either
After any person buys a vehicle, the documents of the new vehicle are sent online to the RTO office for registration, after verification, the RTO office disposes of it and allocates a number. The vehicle dealer sends a list of number plates to the number plate company to prepare the HSRP of this number. Once the number plate is ready, the vehicle owner is notified, the entire process takes about a week. If there are selected numbers it takes more time but now there is no need to wait for this too.

Dealers list will show for the selected number
If the customer has any preference for any number other than the number allotted in the auction for the special selection number, those dealers will be able to see the number in the computer system itself. He will get that number after paying the required fee. While the non-selected numbers will be obtained by the dealers through the process of randomization.
