Last verified: 2026-09-08Tracking number formats every Indian courier
An Indian tracking number tells you which courier holds your parcel before you track it. Delhivery uses DL then digits, Blue Dart BD, Ekart FMPC or DSPC, Valmo VL, Amazon TBA, and India Post two letters, nine digits, then IN. The full rules for 20 couriers are below.

What this database is
44 pattern rules across 20 couriers, transcribed from the detection engine this site runs in production — the same code that decides which courier your number belongs to when you paste it into the tracker. A unique match identifies one courier on its own; a shared match fits several couriers and only narrows the field.
Each courier also carries whether tracking currently works on this site. Of the 20 listed, 7 work, 9 are blocked by the courier or fail upstream, 3 have no integration, and 1 is undetermined. That is measured, not claimed — the method is in our coverage report (probe date 2026-09-08).
What this is not: courier documentation
These are the rules we match on, published so you can check our working. They are not transcribed from each courier's official specification, and we have not verified them against every courier's own help centre (needsOfficialVerification is true on every row). Where a courier publishes an authoritative format, that document wins over this page. Each courier's official tracking page is linked in its section so you can go to the source.

Format cards: one image per courier
The same rules as a picture you can save, share in a support chat or use in your own help page. Each card shows the number shapes this site recognises for one courier, with dummy examples (not real parcels). Free to reuse with a credit link, see the image licence.
Couriers with no recognisable number pattern
These 6 couriers are supported on the site but issue numbers with no distinctive shape, so nothing can identify them automatically. If your number is from one of these, you have to pick the courier yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell which courier owns my tracking number?
Look at the prefix and shape. Delhivery often starts with DL, Blue Dart with BD, Ekart with FMPC or DSPC, Valmo with VL, Amazon Shipping with TBA, and India Post with two letters, nine digits, then IN. Paste the number on WhereIsMyOrder and the same production patterns decide the courier — or browse the table on this page.
What is the difference between a unique match and a shared match?
A unique (strong) pattern identifies one courier on its own. A shared (weak) pattern — often a bare run of digits — fits more than one courier and only narrows the field. When a number is shared, pick the courier from your SMS, marketplace order page, or shipping label.
Why do some couriers show as blocked or not configured?
Trackability comes from a live production probe on 2026-09-08 (reports/COURIER-COVERAGE.md), not from marketing claims. Blocked means the courier or upstream call failed automated lookup; not-configured means we have no integration yet. Format rules still help you recognise the number; use the courier's official tracking link when this site cannot complete a lookup.
Is this the official format documentation from each courier?
No. These are the detection rules this site actually runs, transcribed from our patterns so you can check our working. Every row is marked needsOfficialVerification until someone verifies it against that courier's own help centre. Where a courier publishes an authoritative format, their document wins.
How do I track a number on this site?
Go to the homepage, paste your AWB, order ID, or consignment number, and submit — no login required. Couriers marked working on this page can return a timeline here; for blocked or not-configured couriers, open the official tracking link in that courier's section.
