Launch of Universal Number Plates
In August 2020, the Punjab government launched Universal Number Plates across the province. According to a notification, the Punjab Excise Taxation and Narcotics Control Department had decided to issue number plates with the same serial numbers.
“Vehicles in all Punjab cities will now be registered under one serial from August 17, 2020,” the government said.
The Excise department added that it is ending the plates with LEA, RN, BW, and MA serials, as there will only be a ‘Punjab’ number plate in the province.

According to the government, the AAA series is introduced for cars and bikes, while the CAA series is for commercial vehicles.
