About this tool
Decode what an Indian vehicle number plate, registration, driving licence number, PAN, IFSC or cheque MICR code says: state, RTO, holder type, bank and branch.
Paste the code, pick its type and see each part explained. Everything runs in your browser. This page brings together 6 separate indian code decoder pages (Driving licence, IFSC, MICR (cheque), Vehicle number plate, PAN, Vehicle registration) so you can compare them without hunting for the right one.
Open Indian Code Decoder on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Choose your code at the top: Driving licence, IFSC, MICR (cheque), Vehicle number plate and 2 more. On a phone it is a drop-down list.
Fill in the indian code decoder for that code; each of the 6 options keeps its own rules, data and defaults.
Read the result, then switch code to compare. The page link keeps your code (?v=driving-licence), so you can bookmark or share it.
Driving licence, IFSC, MICR (cheque) and the rest sit behind one picker, so switching code takes a tap instead of a new search.
Every code keeps its own rules, numbers and defaults rather than one generic template.
The link remembers the code you picked, so a bookmark or a shared link opens straight on it.
6: Driving licence, IFSC, MICR (cheque), Vehicle number plate, PAN, Vehicle registration. Pick one at the top of the tool; the page link updates (for example ?v=driving-licence) so you can bookmark or share that exact view.
The common format is 15 characters: two letters for the state, two digits for the issuing RTO, four digits for the year, and a seven-digit serial. In DL0420110012345 that reads as Delhi, RTO 04, year 2011, serial 0012345.
Exactly 11 characters: the first four are letters identifying the bank, the fifth is always 0 (reserved for future use), and the last six are letters or digits identifying the branch. HDFC0001234 and SBIN0000456 both follow that pattern.
The first 3 digits are the city code, which matches the first three digits of the city's PIN code; digits 4 to 6 are the bank code; digits 7 to 9 are the branch code. So 400002001 reads as Mumbai (400), bank 002, branch 001.
Read it in four blocks: state or UT code, RTO district code, series letters, then the vehicle number. In MH 12 AB 1234, MH is Maharashtra, 12 is the Pune RTO, AB is the series and 1234 is the number within that series. Each series block holds 10,000 numbers, from 0001 to 9999.
It is the status of the holder. P means an individual, C a company, H a Hindu Undivided Family, F a firm, A an association of persons, T a trust, B a body of individuals, L a local authority, J an artificial juridical person and G a government body. Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) also use the F code — there is no separate LLP status code.
In MH 12 AB 1234, MH is Maharashtra, 12 is the RTO office that registered the vehicle — Pune in this case — AB is the letter series, and 1234 is the serial within that series. Each series runs from 0001 to 9999 before the next series opens, moving A, B … Z, then AA, AB and onward.
