What is the meaning of the numbers?

HR88B8888 is actually a special VIP vehicle number which people usually buy through auction or by paying premium. Every part of this number has its own meaning and by combining them the complete information is formed.

HR tells that the vehicle is registered in Haryana.
88 is the code of the district or RTO where this vehicle was registered.
B shows the series running in that RTO.
8888 is a unique number specifically chosen by the buyer.

The specialty of this number is that the entire number looks almost like the same pattern. The shape of the capital letter B also sometimes looks like 8 on digital displays, so the entire number looks like a continuous line of eights when viewed from outside. For this reason it is considered a VIP or attractive number.
