All Company VIN / Chassis Number Decode Date and Year

In each VIN / Chassis Number, there will be one code representing the month of production and another code indicating the year of production. However, each car brand will locate the month code and year code in a different position.

The year of manufacture recording in the Registration Certificate has great importance. In few cases, the dealers purposefully furnish false model year and month in Form 21, for registration. A few officers became the victims of their tricks (even became the accused in a vigilance case).

In this circumstance I tried to collect the data and make a hand book to identify the year and month of manufacture.

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique identification number for a vehicle. In most of the vehicles, VIN includes the year and month codes. This book includes month and year codes for most commonly registered vehicles in Kerala.

In few vehicles, it punched on the identification plate only. It should be definitely inspected by the officers, at the time of inspection.

One particular vehicle manufacturer has mostly same year code, even though various models. But it is different for a few models.

I express my profound gratitude to my all well wishers for their encouragement. If any errors noted, kindly inform me for rectification.

I hope it will be helpful to the officers in our department.
