Goa government, it appears, acts like an agency willing to cash-in on
the number-fetish of its citizens. The Directorate of Transport, for
instance, will sell you certain numbers, at a premium:
1. Assignment of registration mark within identical numerical.
Two & three wheelers other than two & Three wheelers
(i) In 2 digits .Rs. 1000/- Rs. 3000/-
(ii) In 3 digits .Rs. 2000/- Rs. 5000/-
(iii) In 4 digits .Rs. 3000/- Rs. 10000/-
2. Assignment of registration mark in form of any combination
.Rs. 2000/- Rs. 4000/-
3. Assignment of registration mark in consecutive ascending order of 3
or more digits . Rs. 1500/- Rs. 3000/-
4. Assignment of No. 786 .Rs. 1500/- Rs. 3000/-

What is surprising is they will even charge a premium for the number
786 (a number which has religious connotations in Islam!)
