Rule is different in Sindh. They will not issue "original" number plates again; they will re-issue number plates but with tag of "Duplicate" embossed/ written over number plate.
Plus this "Duplicate" will be tagged on documents, file, computer records everywhere.
Purpose is to prevent misuse of lost "original number plate" or damaged one.
This" Duplicate" number plate issue will decrease 20% to 25% of the value of the car at the time of re-selling.
Aftermarket number plates from outside sources/ shops are not allowed in Sindh legally and users must use only Excise issued number plates.
