Considered unlucky by some, 0013 also found takers and was auctioned for Rs 40,000, against the reserve price of Rs 10,000."Today's auction generated a good response, especially the high price that number 0001 fetched. With the population in the city increasing and most families owning more than one vehicle, the frequency of the auctions has increased," Registering and Licensing Officer Jai Ram Singh said. "Some vehicle owners have a fetish for a particular number and go to any length to get it."The RLA had started auctioning registration numbers in 2001 after it was observed that people wanted to have particular numbers for their vehicles.Those interested in a particular number can register with the RLA when the new series of numbers is about to be launched. In case there is more than one contender for a number, it is auctioned.During the last auction of series CH01 AB, the RLA had earned Rs 40 lakh. The auction was held in February this year.Earlier, the auction of CH01 AA series in November last year had received a poor response, with only nine numbers being auctioned for Rs 5.16 lakh.
