What is a chassis number

A chassis number is a unique identification code given by car manufacturers to every vehicle. It is also called the vehicle identification number VIN.

• The first three digits show the world manufacturer identifier.
• The fourth to eighth digits give the car model, engine type, engine capacity, and car’s frame.
• The ninth digit is a security code.
• The tenth and eleventh digits tell the manufacturing year and manufacturing plant.
• The last six digits form the serial number.

This means no two motor vehicles in Haryana or anywhere in the world have the same car’s chassis number.
