![Indian vehicle lookup — one VAHAN database, four unofficial taps](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/c/4/c40848801332defc573023e177be05deebe7cb3d.jpeg)

### 🚰 One government database, four unofficial taps

`plate ▶ VAHAN ▶ owner · RC · insurance · challan`

> Surepass, IDfy, Cashfree, the RapidAPI clones — **every “RC Verification API” in India reads the same VAHAN database and bolts a meter on the pipe.** Everything below taps it for free.

Plate in → owner, RC, insurance, challan out. There are only **four ways into the database** , and every free tool is one of them:

| Route into VAHAN | The move | Grab this |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 🔁 **Replay the portal** | Fire VAHAN’s own internal AJAX call — the request the site makes to itself | [vahan-scraper](https://github.com/RevTpark/vahan-scraper) |
| 🧬 **Reverse the app** | Wear the mParivahan app’s signed request; the app is already authorized | [Google-App-Reverse](https://github.com/Aoi-Ino/Google-App-Reverse) |
| 🧩 **Beat the gate** | Solve the captcha, then un-mask the owner name the portal hides | [parivahan\_scraper](https://github.com/sharang1996/parivahan_scraper) · [MaskReveal](https://github.com/justmorpheus/maskreveal) |
| 🛞 **Pivot another rail** | Let FASTag / UPI / a phone number leak the vehicle link | [upi-recon.py](https://github.com/qurbat/upi-recon/blob/main/upi-recon.py) |

That’s the whole game. Pick a route, or grab the pre-built shelf below.

> **🗄️ The full grey shelf — clone, run, owner name prints**
>
> | Tool | Why it’s on the shelf |
> | --- | --- |
> | [vahanmcp](https://github.com/shubhamgrg04/vahanmcp) | Playwright harvest → local SQLite + MCP tools (agent-callable) |
> | [darkbyte-vehicle-osint](https://github.com/darkbytehunter/darkbyte-vehicle-osint) · [vehicle-osint-scanner](https://github.com/thakur2309/vehicle-osint-scanner) | Same unofficial endpoint, two clients — scanner is the lighter build |
> | [parivahan-py](https://github.com/loanzen/parivahan-py) | Adds a **stolen-status** check on top of RC |
> | [anmolrajpal/vehicle-info](https://github.com/anmolrajpal/vehicle-info) | Hits the NR-services endpoint directly, no browser |
> | [rc-dl-DL-details-webscraper](https://github.com/XkuramaX/rc-dl-DL-details-webscraper) | Raw RC **and** DL flow, not a polished wrapper |
> | [fatalcoder524/indian-vehicle-info](https://github.com/fatalcoder524/indian-vehicle-info) · [ps011/vehicle-details-api](https://github.com/ps011/vehicle-details-api) | CLI + Flask, and a Node API — owner, RTO, chassis, engine, fuel |
> | [registration\_info.py](https://gist.github.com/nikhilweee/9efd9731880104dd00ecf2ed8effacc5) | One-file gist, drops straight into any script |
> | [VehicleInfoOCR](https://github.com/Udayraj123/VehicleInfoOCR) | Point a camera at the plate; ad-free, self-hosted |
> 
> **No install:** [Analysis.wtf](https://analysis.wtf/) (Discord) · [@vehicle\_details\_bot](https://t.me/vehicle_details_bot) · [@VehicleDetailsBot](https://t.me/VehicleDetailsBot) · [Vehicle-Info-Bot](https://github.com/agentnova/Vehicle-Info-Bot) (self-host)

> **🛞 No plate? Come in sideways**
>
> | Have this | Get the vehicle |
> | --- | --- |
> | A **phone number** | Registered mobile maps back to the RC \[1\] |
> | A **FASTag / UPI** trace | [upi-recon.py](https://github.com/qurbat/upi-recon/blob/main/upi-recon.py) — the payment rail is the softest way in |
> | An **engine / chassis** number | Reverse-RC lookups pivot from the metal, not the plate |

> **💸 The middlemen — same data, metered (don't pay these)**
>
> All resell the **same VAHAN records** , priced per hit:
> 
> Deepvue · Surepass · Attestr · Eko · InstantPay · Equal · Indiconnect · Tutelar · Cashfree · Airpay · HDFC Karza · IDfy · IDSPay · AmyGB · Arya.ai · DH BOSS · APIclub · every RapidAPI _“RTO”_ listing · carregistrationapi.in
> 
> Browser skins on the same well: CarInfo · VahanX · Rcinfo.in · VahanDetails · My Motor · Itzeazy

The records were never theirs to sell. Tap the source.

1. Telegram data-broker bots run this off leaked / user-submitted DBs — rotating, unnamed, accuracy is a coin-flip. The clean commercial versions exist but are paid, so they’re not listed here.

This is very interesting, will there be a version for Mexico?
