Decode MH03 number plates and run RC, owner and challan checks for Mumbai East.
Every Indian vehicle registration begins with a state code followed by a two-digit RTO number. The prefix MH03 is assigned to the Mumbai East Regional Transport Office in Maharashtra. Any vehicle whose number plate starts with MH03 was originally registered here, which also means its RC file, fitness record and challan history sit with this office.
A typical MH03 plate looks like MH03 AB 1234. The first two letters (MH) are the state, the next two digits identify the Mumbai East RTO, the following one or two letters are the running series, and the last four digits are the unique vehicle number. When a series is exhausted the RTO moves to the next letter pair, so newer MH03 vehicles generally carry later series letters.
MH03AB1234.A mismatch between the RTO on the plate and the seller's stated location is one of the most common warning signs in an Indian used-vehicle deal. If a car is advertised as a local Mumbai East vehicle, the plate should start with MH03 and the RC record should show Maharashtra as the registering state. Re-registration in another state requires an NOC, so ask for that paperwork whenever the two do not line up.
