Get Vehicle Details from Sending SMS to 7738299899 & Driving Licence Details from 8790499899

Well, It's something recently introduced by the Government. What it does is get you all the details of the vehicle in particular.

All you have to do is SMS 'VAHAN space MH01AX3740' to 7738299899

The details include :-

1. The RTO from where the vehicle is registered.
2. The Owner Serial Number
3. Owner's Name
4. The vehicle in question (Make and model)
5. The class of the vehicle.
6. The expiry date of registration.

These things are always useful in case of an accident (Specifically a hit-and-run scenario) or It might also be useful when one is shopping in the pre-owned market. Usually, Owner/Dealers tend to lie about the Owner Serial Number. There. Problem Solved.

Speaking of problems, This only applies to vehicles registered after 2006-07 (In my opinion). Because, I tried the same with a 2005 registered vehicle of mine and apparently it couldn't get through. So, Do keep that in mind.

As you can probably see, The second SMS mentions a vehicle which is 2005 registered, hence, cannot be located.

The road transport ministry in association with National Informatics Centre (NIC) developed this SMS and web based applications for queries about genuineness of vehicles, RC Driving Licence Details.
