If you are trying to verify the number by state RTO and number by Central (BH Series) try this :

    public static boolean validateNumberPlate(EditText numberPlate){
    final Pattern pattern1 = Pattern.compile("^[A-Z]{2}[\\\\ -]{0,1}[0-9]{2}[\\\\ -]{0,1}[A-HJ-NP-Z]{1,2}[\\\\ -]{0,1}[0-9]{4}$");   // for all states
    final Pattern pattern2 = Pattern.compile("^[0-9]{2}[\\\\ -]{0,1}BH[\\\\ -]{0,1}[0-9]{4}[\\\\ -]{0,1}[A-HJ-NP-Z]{1,2}$");   // for BH Series

    return (pattern1.matcher(numberPlate.getText().toString().trim()).matches() || pattern2.matcher(numberPlate.getText().toString().trim()).matches());
}

First Pattern is for the State RTO (Eg. RJ 00 XX 0000).

Second pattern is for BH Series (Eg. 00 BH 0000 XX).

Indian Vehicle number are like :

GJ 01 AA 1234 or KA 08 J 9192 or (New Bharat Series) like 22 BH 1234 AB or 22 BH 1234 A

You Can validate using these 2 regular expressions:

1) ^[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{2}[A-HJ-NP-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{4}$
2) ^[0-9]{2}BH[0-9]{4}[A-HJ-NP-Z]{1,2}$

As per RTO rules:

In RTO series Alphabet 'I' and 'O', 2 are excluded to avoid confusion with digits 0 or 1.

Based on the Wikipedia spec:

^[A-Z]{2}[ -][0-9]{1,2}(?: [A-Z])?(?: [A-Z]*)? [0-9]{4}$
  • The first two letters of the registration plate represent the State in which the vehicle is Registered.
  • The next two digit numbers are the sequential number of a district. Due to heavy volume of vehicle registration, the numbers were given to the RTO offices of registration as well.
  • The third part is a 4 digit number unique to each plate. A letter(s) is prefixed when the 4 digit number runs out and then two letters and so on.
  • In some states (such as the union territory of Delhi, and previously in Gujarat and Bihar ) the initial 0 of the district code is omitted; thus Delhi district 2 numbers appear as DL 2 not DL 02.
  • The National Capital Territory of Delhi has an additional code in the registration code: DL 01 C AA 1111

If you are looking for number plate(VRN) then use following regex

^[A-Z|a-z]{2}\s?[0-9]{1,2}\s?[A-Z|a-z]{0,3}\s?[0-9]{4}$

If you are looking for number plate in substring then use the following regex

.*?([A-Za-z]{2})(\d{2})([A-Za-z]{2})(\d{4}).*?

//DL 01 C AA 1234
^[A-Z]{2}[ -]{0,1}[0-9]{2}[ -]{0,1}(?:[A-Z])[ -]{0,1}[A-Z]{1,2}[ -]{0,1}[0-9]{1,4}$

//MH 15 AA 1234
^[A-Z]{2}[ -]{0,1}[0-9]{2}[ -]{0,1}[A-Z]{1,2}[ -]{0,1}[0-9]{1,4}$

MVA 1234
^[A-Z]{3}[ -]{0,1}[0-9]{1,4}$

//MH 15 8008
^[A-Z]{2}[ -]{0,1}[0-9]{2}[ -]{0,1}[0-9]{1,4}$

with or without space :)

^[A-Z]{2}\s[0-9]{1,2}\s[A-Z]{1,2}\s[0-9]{1,4}$

The above regex will work for the following types

DL 01 AA 1111

DL 0 AA 1111

DL 1 A 1111

DL 0 A 11

DL 01 AA 111

-(BOOL) validateVehicleRegNumber:(NSString *)strNumber { //Example MH14DA8904

    NSString *validReg = @"[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{2}[A-Z]{2}[0-9]{4}";
    NSPredicate *emailTest = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF MATCHES %@", validReg];
    return [emailTest evaluateWithObject:strNumber];

Try this

^[A-Z]{2}\s[0-9]{2}\s[A-Z]{2}\s[0-9]{4}$

^ means start of string
[A-Z]{2} means 2 characters in the range of A through Z
\s means white space
[0-9]{2} means 2 characters in the range of 0 through 9
\s means white space
[A-Z]{2} means 2 characters in the range of A through Z
\s means white space
[0-9]{4} means 4 characters in the range of 0 through 9
$ means end of string

Based on what you said in your question this should be a very broad check against proper format, but I have a feeling that there are more specific regulations on how the license plates are numbered. Let me know if there are additional constraints for the regex.

Say for example if the user already entered a value like:

DL

then the textbox did not take the next input any other than a integer or one more char as.....

DL C

from here user can only enter a integer value............

So, in short what i want to do is to take the input only like that regex given by Alix

Based on the Wikipedia Specs

^[A-Z]{2}[ -][0-9]{1,2}(?: [A-Z])?(?: [A-Z]*)? [0-9]{4}$

^[A-Z]{2} [0-9]{2} [A-Z]{2} [0-9]{4}$

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_India

Looks like the format is a bit more complex than stated in your question...

just check it out for whitespace only...

  function isValidNumber($Number){
         $pattern = "^[a-zA-z]{2}\s[0-9]{2}\s[0-9]{4}$";
         if (eregi($pattern, $Number)){
            return true;
         }
         else {
            return false;
        }
    }
